Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Galanthus 'S. Arnott' is a popular cultivar with large, fragrant flowers on upright stems with cupped outer petals and inner petals with a green inverted v. Snowdrops are a harbinger of spring that bloom in late winter, often breaking through the snow. Their pendulous pure white flowers often have green markings, the small subtleties of which along with the variation in petal shapes beguile many gardeners who, having fallen down the rabbit hole, are known as galanthophiles. Beware! You could be next.

Viewed by many as one of the best snowdrops. In shape and appearance it's classic but larger in all parts overall. Fragrant, pure white, well rounded flowers with green markings on the inner segment.
