Description
A vigorous and very garden-worthy form of G. elwesii monostictus notable for its late-flowering habit, the flowers are just starting to open at a time when related elwesii such as as Comet and Penelope Ann are going over. A further attractive feature of this clone is its distinctly blue-grey, glaucous, arching leaves which are wide for the species and which are usually made in threes, rather than the usual Snowdrop twos.
The flowers are a good size and pure white apart from a well defined, dark green “bow tie” at the tips of the inner segments. The outers are long and well-proportioned.
A vigorous form which originated in a batch of bulbs from the Dutch firm of van Tubergen, in 1958 but which was not noticed and named until 1987 when it was spotted by Ruby Baker.
