Description

An aristocratic snowdrop and arguably one the most beautiful, with handsome leaves and large flowers that carry bold markings. Originating from the Aegean Islands of Greece, it was first discovered on the island of Ikaria in 1893, where it occurs naturally in wet and shady places in river gorges, by streams and in deciduous woodland.

Galanthus ikariae remains a collector’s snowdrop and is rarely seen in gardens. Its growing requirements are a little more fussy than other varieties as it is slightly less hardy, but give it a sheltered position in shade, in moist, freely- draining ground and it will readily self-seed to form large colonies.

Galanthus ikariae is a green-leaved snowdrop, with broad, dark green foliage that is distinctly mat. The large flowers carry a single bold green mark that covers more than half of the inner perianth. One of the last species to flower in cultivation, Galanthus ikariae makes an elegant finale to the snowdrop season. Height: 15cm (6in). Spread: 10cm (4in)

How to Grow

Plant snowdrops in the dappled shade of deciduous trees. Snowdrop bulbs thrive in reliably moist, well drained soil that is rich in organic matter. Add plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost to the soil prior to planting to improve less than ideal soils. Plant bulbs at a depth of 10cm (4") and a distance of 10cm (4") apart. For natural looking drifts of snowdrop flowers, gently cast them across the planting area and plant them where they land!

Galanthus woronowii naturally grows in areas with high rainfall but enjoys a very well-drained soil. Grow in humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil that does not dry out in summer – avoid sunbaked spots. If growing in troughs, raised beds or rock gardens choose a spot with light shade.

For more information and guidance check out our Gardening Guides.

More Info
Snowdrops require reliably moist soil throughout summer. Water bulbs if necessary until they are fully established. When growing snowdrops, it is essential to allow their foliage to die back naturally as this will feed the bulb for the following year. Where bulbs are naturalised in grass, avoid mowing the area until their foliage has died back. Caution: Snowdrop bulbs are an irritant to skin and eyes, and are harmful if eaten.
