Galanthus Fieldgate Tiffany

Galanthus "Fieldgate Tiffany"

A large bold snowdrop with a relatively small rounded dark green ovary,

The outer segments are large, puckered and concave running to a point at the tip. The inner segments have a generous dark green mark at the tips.

The leaves give away its elwesii parents and are bold and broad.

Elwesii snowdrops do not usually do as well as other types of snowdrops here in N E Scotland, but Fieldgate Tiffany is an exception and bulks up well amongst our herbaceous borders.

It is a late to flower, usually in March.

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.
