I am a landscape designer and have been purchasing 1000's of spring flowering bulbs from A.D.R. Bulbs for 100's of clients in the last 20 years. The bulbs have always been of top quality and if there were any problems, they have been quick to rectify. My orders are often complicated with many varieties and different amounts and they have always filled and delivered everything on time with the best customer care and attention to detail. The pictures in their catalog and website are beautiful. I have visited their facility in NY and was impressed with all their handling equipment and organization. I would highly recommend A.D.R. Bulbs to anyone in the wholesale trade who wants to purchase quality bulbs and work with genuinely nice people.

Galanthus Double 'Flore Pleno'

Double Snowdrop

Galanthus nivalis 'Flore Pleno', commonly known as Double Snowdrop, reaches 6 to 10 inches tall, featuring nodding, double white blooms delicately marked with green at the petal tips. These fragrant flowers emerge in late winter to early spring, often pushing through snow, signaling the start of the growing season.

Ideal for naturalizing in woodlands, rock gardens, and border fronts, this variety thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers moist, well-drained, humus-rich soil. It is deer-resistant and low-maintenance, reliably returning year after year in sweeping drifts.

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Galanthus Double 'Flore Pleno'

Planting: Plant bulbs in fall, 3 inches deep and 3 inches apart. If bulbs appear dry, soak them for a few hours before planting.
Location: Prefers partial shade or dappled sunlight—ideal under deciduous trees or in woodland-style plantings.
Soil: Moist, humus-rich, well-drained soil with a neutral to slightly alkaline pH (6.5–7.5). Add compost or leaf mold to improve texture.
Watering: Keep soil moist during active growth in late winter and early spring. Once foliage dies back, reduce watering.
Temperature: Hardy in USDA zones 3–8. Requires a cold period (10–14 weeks) to bloom reliably.
Fertilization: Apply compost or a balanced fertilizer in early spring as shoots emerge.
Pruning: Allow foliage to die back naturally to nourish the bulb. Remove spent flower stalks for tidiness.
Propagation: Naturalizes by offsets and self-seeding. Divide clumps in late spring after foliage fades.
Pest & Disease: Generally pest-free. Rodent- and deer-resistant due to a mild musky scent.
