Galanthus nivalis Viridapice Bhutan each highlighted by small cinnamonGalanthus nivalis 'Viridapice' is an industry standard, a century after its original discovery in the Northern Holland in the 1920s. The upright growth habit, and good vigor make this a great garden performer. Starting for us in late February early March, the clumps are adorned with white flowers, each tipped in green, which compliments the green calyx.
