Galanthus elwesii 'Maidwell L'

Galanthus elwesii var. elwesii 'Maidwell L' is a large, robust, early-flowering snowdrop with broad, blue-grey foliage topped with large flowers with elongated petals and inner segments marked with a large, mid green X. 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.
