Galanthus nivalis 'Anglesey Abbey'

Snowdrop

Plant Type:

BULBS

Galanthus nivalis 'Anglesey Abbey' (not 'Galatea') - This fine Snowdrop originated in Lord Fairhavens private garden at Anglesey Abbey. John Sales who was the former garden adviser at the The National Trust identified 'Anglesey' as sporting a longer pedicel and a different ovary shape and other minor variations. A lovely collector's plant to be sure. Your purchase may arrive bare root wrapped in a moist agent in a sealed bag.
