Galanthus nivalis 'Sam Arnott' | Sam Arnott Snowdrop
DESCRIPTION
Galanthus nivalis 'Sam Arnott' is a beautiful variety of snowdrop known for its pure white flowers that bloom in early spring, often emerging while snow is still on the ground. Native to Europe, this cultivar is known for it larger-than-usual blossoms and excellent hardiness, making it a reliable choice for gardens in colder climates. The blooms typically appear in late winter to early spring, brightening up the garden after a long winter.
'Sam Arnott’ has large white graceful flowers, each with a pronounced, teardrop-shaped inner petal, often with a subtle green mark at the tip. This cultivar is often favored by snowdrop enthusiasts due to its robustness and its ability to naturalize in gardens over time. The plant is also known for producing multiple flowers on each stem, giving it a fuller and more abundant appearance when in bloom.
