Broadleigh Gardens offer one of the largest ranges of Galanthus bulbs anywhere which ate available for despatch as growing plants in early spring. We will publish our supplementary list of snowdrops in short supply at the beginning of February.

Plant the bulbs, preferably in small clumps, 3" to 4" deep and 3" apart under ornamental trees and shrubs. In light or sandy soil it is advisable to dig in some good loam; in a very heavy soil dig in a little peat or leaf mould and sand. See article on snowdrops for more information.
