North Green Snowdrops

- 13 -
G. plicatus: a vigorous and variable species. The leaves have a
prominent central channel and their edges are strongly folded or
turned under (plicate). The markings on the inner segments are
extremely variable. We offer the following forms:
'Augustus': it is to the late Mrs Amy Doncaster and her very good
eye for spotting a good garden plant that we are indebted for this
lovely G. plicatus seedling. A robust, somewhat dumpy plant.
Attractive very wide leaves with a distinct broad silver channel. Later
flowering with large rounded flowers. Increases well. (Snowdrops,
(2001) p.152) £8.50
'Baxendale's Late': a reliably late-flowering G. plicatus which
blooms at the end of the season when most other snowdrops have
finished. A fairly vigorous plant of good substance to extend the
season. (Snowdrops, (2001) p.142) £5.00
'Bill Clark': another of the beautiful yellows from Wandlebury Ring,
Cambridge. Together with G. plicatus 'Wandlebury Ring', this distinct
snowdrop is taller than G. plicatus 'Wendy's Gold'. It was named
after the Warden, Bill Clark. The outer segments of the nicely shaped
flowers elegantly taper to a point and the inner segment marking is an
almost perfect solid yellow circle with a small notch over the sinus. A
lovely and very desirable snowdrop. (Snowdrops, (2001) p.160)
£30.00
'Diggory' A.M. (2009): perennially one of the most desirable of all
snowdrops. The outer segments remain tucked under, even as the
flower matures and expands, giving this snowdrop its unique and
instantly recognisable shape. From Rosie Steele. See illustration p.12.
