Description
A Galanthus plicatus hybrid, with this contribution to its parentage clearly displayed in the gorgeous, broad, blue-green leaves. This is one of the better of the newer, green-tipped hybrids, with good sized, globular flowers in which the tips of the outer petals are usually well marked with a strong, green crescent made up of broad, almost overlapping emerald colourations over the petal veins. Very attractive and equally distinctive in its appearance which is most unlike most of the other green-tipped forms. It should however be noted that every now and again, perhaps one year in five, there are no green marks present, the following year they return. We presume that, as with so many snowdrops, there is a temperature, light and weather effect on colouration.
This makes robust growth but it maintains a tidy habit. It can, when established, make a second scape from each bulb. This is a good perennial clone, unlike many pure plicatus clones, which can be short-lived at times.
Found by Richard Hobbs in 1990 in the old garden of Heyrick Greatorex, the raiser of many famous double plicatus x nivalis hybrids.
