{"product_id":"galanthus-swanton","title":"Galanthus ‘Swanton'","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAn unusual and particularly early-flowering snowdrop selected by Jane Walton and named after Swanton, the Norfolk village where it originated. Thought to have arisen from a cross involving \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eGalanthus gracilis\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eand ‘Diggory’ (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eG. plicatus\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e), it brings together some interesting characteristics of both parents, although its precise parentage has not been conclusively established. The flowers are especially distinctive, with rounded, almost balloon-like white outer segments displaying pronounced longitudinal ridges and an attractive hammered texture. The inner segments carry a narrow, inverted V-shaped green marking towards the tip, together with a broader marking towards the base. The foliage is slender, grey-green and somewhat twisted, while the ovary has an appealing yellow-green colour. An intriguing cultivar for collectors, particularly those who appreciate the unusual forms and early flowering season of the genus.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHeight:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 14–18 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpread:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 10–15 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e H5\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFlowering period:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e November–January\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Edulis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58424336417150,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.edulis.co.uk\/products\/galanthus-swanton","provider":"Edulis","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
