Snowdrops
We reserve the right to withdraw a bulb if the quality is not acceptable. The majority of our stock our potted in August and then then are bare-rooted before dispatch. We cannot inspect the bulb until this point. The bulbs are sent out in damp moss, and need to be potted as soon as possible on receipt.
PLEASE NOTE GALANTHUS ARE SENT OUT BETWEEN DECEMBER & FEBRUARY.
You will get a notification before dispatch.
