Description
A rare member of a Caucasian complex of closely related taxa involving several species names. This has two narrow, bright green leaves below a small to medium-sized hanging white flower in January. The tips of the inner segments are each marked in green.
Despite recent ideas about this inter-related Caucasian species complex, I do not think that the last word has yet been said, nor sufficient field research undertaken to accurately rename or re-classify these Russian snowdrops correctly.
Whatever the outcome of proper studies, this remains a distinct and different species, arguably one of the best of the group. From the gardener’s point of view, the fact that it is readily grown and flowered without making too many rice-grain offsets, marks it out as desirable.
Raised from material traceable to Vladikavkaz in the Caucasus Mountains.
