Galanthus Nivalis Hippolyta
M5450
Galanthus nivalis ‘Hippolyta’ produces elegant double white flowers delicately marked with green, the nodding blooms appearing through the late winter chill as one of the first signs of spring. The softly layered flowers of Snowdrop nivalis ‘Hippolyta’ bring charm and brightness to woodland gardens, shaded borders, and naturalised planting schemes during the earliest part of the season.
Ideal for planting in drifts beneath deciduous trees, this graceful snowdrop thrives in moist, humus-rich soil where it will gradually establish and spread over time. A light mulch after planting helps encourage strong growth and reliable flowering year after year.
Care Guide
They prefer moist humus-rich soil.
Plant 8-10cm (3-4”) deep, 8-10cm (3-4”) apart. Plant in clumps 8cm (3”) deep in shade or semi-shade.
Do not disturb until you want to split the clumps, which is best done when the foliage is still lush.
