Snowdrop 'Polar Bear'

Snowdrop 'Polar Bear' shuns the bashfulness of other varieties, lifting its large, propellor-like flowers upwards to display its detailed green markings.A form of Galanthus elwesii or Greater Snowdrop, the flowers are much bigger than other kinds and bear distinctive, broad, grey-green leaves that beautifully set off the whiteness of the blooms. This late flowering snowdrop extends the snowdrop season and makes a superb addition to spring containers or scattered through borders. It is also an excellent candidate for naturalising in grass. Ultimate height: 15cm to 20cm (6-8in). Ultimate spread: 10cm (4in).Useful links:The ultimate guide to bulbs: how, where & when to plant
