GALANTHUS ELWESII 'GRUMPY'
Meet Galanthus elwesii 'Grumpy', the charmingly unique snowdrop with a personality! This delightful winter bloomer stands 15cm tall, producing elegant white flowers from January to February.
What makes it special? The inner tepals feature a quirky green marking that amusingly resembles a disconsolate face, adding a touch of character to your early-season garden. Hardy and easy to grow, ‘Grumpy’ thrives in borders, rock gardens, and woodland settings, bringing much-needed interest to the coldest months of the year.
