Specializing in snowdrops (Galanthus, Flower Bulb of the Year for 2025), Patrick’s journey began with his father, who started the nursery and introduced the family to these delicate yet resilient blooms. Around 2001, a shipment of snowdrop bulbs from Turkey sparked Patrick’s fascination with their natural variation. Through careful observation and meticulous selection, he uncovered something extraordinary—snowdrops that bloomed at distinct times from January through March.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntrigued, Patrick sorted his harvested bulbs based on subtle differences in colour and shape. In the following years, he refined his selections, ensuring each retained its distinct character and vigour. The result? Three stunning varieties of Galanthus elwesii (aka Giant Snowdrop)—Snow Fox, heralding the season in January; Beluga, which graces February with its blooms; and Polar Bear, making its grand entrance in March.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHardy, healthy and perfect for dry shipping, they’ll bring a touch of Patrick’s expertise and passion to gardens across the U.S.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis collection includes -\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5 Snow Fox\u003c\/strong\u003e - These larger-than usual snowdrops feature honey scented, bell-shaped, nodding white flowers with elegant green markings and a soft olive green ovary. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5 Beluga\u003c\/strong\u003e - In bloom by February, this new cultivar shows off oversized, bell shaped white blooms with gently curved outer petals—often three to a bulb.
