| Galanthus Species or Cultivars | Available | Description | Price |
| Galanthus Abbington Green | |||
| Galanthus Augustus | yes | An attractive globular flower, this plicate has dimpled petals. Named by Amy Doncaster for E.A.Bowles. | € 10. |
| Galanthus Amy Doncaster | |||
| Galanthus Angelique | Introduced from france in 1999 by Mark Brown.A remarkable introduction at the time and one that has lost none of its charm since, tough its naming is very poignant commemorating as it does a young life cut short | ||
| Galanthus Anglesy Abbey | Yes/Few | Found by Graham Thomas at Anglesey Abbey. The flowers show a strong tendency to ‘poculiform’ i.e. the inner segments have little or no green shading on them. The whole flower thus appears white against the dark green leaves. | €10.00 |
| Galanthus Anne of Geierstein | Segment mark is a dark green boomerang ,and the rounded outers are remarkably thick textured and stiff.There is a certain romance about this variety wich has been around that long ,especially when named for Walter Scott heroine. | ||
| Galanthus Armine | A tall and very elegant form with a flower stalk which just exceeds the spathe, and which thus bears the flower a little away from the stem. The flower is a good sized, well proportioned one in which the markings on the inner segments can be clearly seen even when the flower is not fully opened. These markings consist of an apical horseshoe and a green balloon-lettering ‘X’ at the base. Raised by Brigadier and Mrs Mathias and first offered by the Giant Snowdrop Company in 1962. |
||
| Galanthus Augustus plic | A very distinct plicate form, with short broad leaves and shapely rounded flowers well puckered in their texture. It increases well for us in a quite deep shade and has the reputation for needing regular division. Named by the late Amy Doncaster who was given it by “Gussie” Bowles. | ||
| Galanthus Bertram Anderson | Yes | A.M.(1996) Selected from the garden of E.B.Anderson after his dead by Chris Brickell and Eliot Hodgkin in 1971.the earliest flowering snowdrop of the G.”Mighty Atom” complex and one of the most impressive large snowdrops | €9.00 |
| Galanthus Bess | Yes few | A beautiful large and vigorous clone which Daphne Chappell selected from the former garden of Helen Milford, and named after the late Bess Milford. The inner segments are longitudinally incurved, and show a broad V mark that is slightly turned up at the end of both arms. | €10.00 |
| Galanthus Bill Bishop | This is an early flowering cultivar, of the G. Mighty Atom type. When the flower is expanded it is readily identified by its enormous, almost disproportionately longer outer segments. This actually makes the plant extremely elegant. | ||
| Galanthus Blewberry tart | Nicely proportioned snowdrop which will create a fine display. Earlier to flower than Galanthus S. Arnott, but with the same neat flowers and attractive foliage. | ||
| Galanthus Blonde Inge | Yes | Originally from near Cologne introduced in 1993,yellow marked tips to the inner petals contrast with the green over ovary the flower | €20.00 |
| Galanthus Bloomer | |||

easy. 20cm. Any soil in part shade. Late January-February. |

| Galanthus Christmas wish Niv Ex J.Ruksans | A rare member of the Caucasian species complex, this has two narrow, bright green leaves below a small hanging white flower in January. The tips of the inner segments are each marked in green Despite recent ideas about these inter-related Caucasian species complex, I do not think that the last word has yet been said, nor sufficient research undertaken to accurately rename these Russian snowdrops.Whatever the outcome of classification studies, this remains a distinct and different species, arguably one of the best of the group. From the gardener’s point of view, the fact that it is readily grown and flowered without making too many rice-grain offsets, marks it out as desirable.Raised from material traceable to Vladikavkaz in the Caucasus Mountains. | ||
| Galanthus Cicely Hall | A rare Irish special:really large flowers with a solid bottle green mark almost covering each inner segments.from what can become execptionaly large bulbs. | ||

and flowering time. 20cm. Any soil in part shade. February. 20- 30cm. |
||
| Galanthus Elwesii Greentip | Given the range in which G.elwesii is found – former Yugoslavia, Greece and Turkey, it was only a matter of time before green-tipped examples were found, after all the other markings can be very variable.

Also usually shows a kink or bend in the pedicel behind the ovary. | €10.00 |
| Galanthus Gerard Parker | One of the best plicatus cultivars, strong, reliable, and quick to form clumps.

| Galanthus Sibbertoft Magnet | A form of G. elwesii aquired from Primrose Warburg’s garden (where it grew on the ‘Sibbertoft Bank’) with the dangling flower supported by a long arching pedicel, the spathe above nearly as long. A leafy plant with a noticeably long ovary, the inner segment revealing a darker heart-like shape and a paler smudge | ||
| Galanthus Sibbertoft Manor | A fine plicatus hybrid considered one of the best. This has broad, glaucous foliage and exceptionally large flowers held on stout stems.

€20.00 |
| Galanthus Spindelstone surprise | Yes | A strong and vigorous yellow hybrid. Found in 1997 by Ron McBeath and Jim Jermyn at Spindlestone Northumberland. A chance find which appears to be a cross between G. plicatus and G. nivalis Sandersii | €25.00 |
| Galanthus Straffan | Yes | A strong growing clone which makes glaucous foliage and pristine large white flowers with an inverted green “horseshoe” on the inner segments.When established it then makes a second later scape, and flower, from each of the leaf pairs, doubling the display and considerably extending the flowering season. | €8.00 |
| Galanthus Sutton Courtenay | A form of G. gracilis distributed from the garden at South Hayes but originating from the garden of Nancy Lindsay in the village of the same name.

| Galanthus Titania | Superb, regular flowered double that rarely shows aberrant segments. Narrow widely splayed foliage. | ||
| Galanthus Tiny Tim niv | Although, as Matt Bishop points out, the name suggests something smaller than the reality, this is still a significantly smaller plant than normal nivalis with narrower leaves (5-7mm) and a generally smaller overall appearance.Not a miniature plant, but certainly smaller and quite charming in a clump of elfin, 10-12cm tall stems bearing 15mm flowers. It is a later to flower than most other clones and is useful in extending the season of snowdrops in the garden. | ||
| Galanthus Transcaucasicus | Yes | Transcaucasicus is scarse in gardens and not much is known about its cultivation requirements , altough it is probaly safe tu assume that it is hrdy in the british isles and Ireland | €7.50 |
