Lovely Under Deciduous Trees
A double form Snowdrop! Snow-white outer petals of the nodding flowers cradle an inner rosette of whorled petals etched with spring green trimmed in white. Irresistibly romantic with its subtle beauty yet quite robust and easy to grow. This early spring charmer defies cold temps and brings smiles to gardeners itching to get their hands in some dirt. Galanthus nivalis Hippolyta is named for the queen of the Amazons in Greek mythology.
