NOTE.

Pre-order only, delivery in early September. Galanthus ikariae is a late-blooming snowdrop native to the Greek islands of the Aegean Sea, first discovered on Ikaria in 1893.

This species is distinguished by its broad, matte dark green leaves and large, nodding white flowers, marked with a distinctive green patch that extends over more than half the length of the inner petals. It blooms from late winter to early spring and reaches a height of around 15 cm.

Slightly less hardy than other snowdrops, it prefers a sheltered location. This variety is a personal favorite of our founder, Erik Hoekstra, who handpicked it for our collection.

In his own garden, it grows along the house wall and has become a clear sign that spring is just around the corner—and that brighter days lie ahead. (Not liked by animals, so it gets to bloom undisturbed!)

Care and cultivation advice

Galanthus prefer partially shaded spots with moist, well-drained soil. Plant the bulbs in autumn, about 5–10 cm deep and 5–10 cm apart. After flowering, allow the foliage to die back naturally. The easiest way to propagate is by dividing clumps just after flowering, although this should be avoided during the first two years.
