Notes
'Hippolyta' snowdrop (Galanthus 'Hippolyta') is a bulb for woodland gardens, borders, and naturalizing. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes part sun to full shade. It is one of the last Greatorex doubles to bloom, and the flowers open in early to late winter. The nodding white blooms have green marks on the inner petals. Each mature bulb produces two flowers.
Pairs well with Frances Williams hosta, Bladdernut, and Samantha lily.
