Description
Galanthus nivalis 'S. Arnott' is an old variety of snowdrop, cultivated since the 1950s. It is highly appreciated for its vigour and large flowers with a slight honey fragrance. This lively little bulb produces a tuft of grey-green foliage that is more vigorous than other snowdrops. It displays large, single white flowers with widely spread sepals. Plant the bulbs in a moist rockery, a light woodland, or in a border where it can be admired up close. You can enjoy its fragrance that develops in calm and sunny weather. It flowers from mid-March. This sturdy variety naturalises easily and quickly in the garden, and requires no maintenance.
Galanthus nivalis is a perennial herbaceous bulbous plant from the Amaryllidaceae family, native to Europe. Its beautiful blooms herald the arrival of spring. The 'Sam Arnott' variety is a particularly robust form of this plant. It develops a lovely clump measuring 25cm (10in) in height, composed of fairly dark green ribbon-like leaves with a touch of grey. In February, it produces one or two stems per bulb, each bearing a particularly large flower, 5cm (2in) wide, carried outward from the clump and inclined toward the ground. The flowers consist of 3 long, airy white sepals, crowning a small central corolla that is white and marked with a dark green heart-shaped or 'V' spot. The flowers are delightfully fragrant. The foliage yellows, then disappears in late spring. Snowdrops produce seeds, as well as numerous bulblets that help them to spread over time.
Galanthus nivalis 'S. Arnott' is one of the first flowers to appear in spring, just after Crocus chrysanthus, Christmas roses, and squills. It will thrive in a moist rockery, alongside creeping bugleweed, Anthyllis montana 'Rubra', and an easy-to-grow fern called Blechnum penna-marina. These plants will occupy the space left by the snowdrops once their foliage has dried up, without suffocating the bulbs. It is ideal for light woodland, preceding the flowering of hellebores and corydalis. In cool climates, it tolerates sunny exposures at the edge of a border. It also grows very well in pots.

Planting and care
Plant the snowdrop bulbs as soon as possible, from September to November. Plant them 8cm (3in) deep, spaced 5cm (2in) apart, grouping them in batches of at least 15 or 20. After that, the cultivation requires little care. We advise you to leave the clumps in place for several years. They will naturally proliferate.
Snowdrops appreciate contrasting climates and need a period of cold to flower. They adapt to almost all soils, as long as they are moist, well-drained, and rather fertile. These plants should not lack water during the growth period. In warm regions, it is advisable to plant them in a position that benefits from the morning sun but with shade in the afternoon. They tolerate direct sunlight very well in cool regions.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
