Galanthus Dryad Gold Nugget

Galanthus Dryad Gold Nugget

One of the series of yellow snowdrops bred by Ann Wright of Dryad Nurseries.

Out of the range of Dryad yellows we hold, this one has a quirky habit of producing lots of small rounded bulbs compared to the rest of the series which seem to has elongated bulbs.

Fairly short at 8cm tall, the ovary is yellow but the inner apical marks are more of a lime colour tinged with yellow.

We grow all the Dryad Gold series in an old concrete cattle trough which is perfect for observing the small differences between them.

What will you receive?

Depending on the time of year, you will receive either a: dormant bulbs, b: newly sprouting bulbs, c: snowdrops in flower, d: snowdrops "in the green"

The snowdrop is currently growing in its own pot and may or may not have bulb-lets attached, we do not separate these off – they will be included with the main bulb.

All bulbs will have most of the compost removed prior to posting. This minimises damage in posting and reduces weight so we can keep postage costs low.

Bulbs are wrapped in damp tissue/kitchen roll and plastic film, then boxed.

Please pot up or plant out as soon as you receive it.

Planting Tips

Dig a hole to 3 x the depth of the bulb, pop in the bulb, and firm the soil back around the bulb to ensure no air-pockets.

If your soil is prone to water logging incorporate plenty of grit or sand to the area.

If your soil is sandy and exceptionally free draining then mix leaf-mould or compost into the area around the bulbs.

Bothered by voles or moles? Then we recommend planting in pond baskets.
