Galanthus ikariae is a late-blooming snowdrop native to the Greek islands of the Aegean Sea, first discovered on Ikaria in 1893. This species is distinguished by its broad, matte dark green leaves and large, nodding white flowers, marked with a distinctive green patch that extends over more than half the length of the inner petals.

It blooms from late winter to early spring and reaches a height of around 15 cm. Slightly less hardy than other snowdrops, it prefers a sheltered location.

This variety is a personal favorite of our founder, Erik Hoekstra, who handpicked it for our collection. In his own garden, it grows along the house wall and has become a clear sign that spring is just around the corner—and that brighter days lie ahead.

(Not liked by animals, so it gets to bloom undisturbed!)

    Grow Galanthus

    The very first sign of spring

    Galanthus (also known as Snowdrops) are something truly special. They are often the first to break through the frozen ground, reminding us that brighter times are on their way. They look delicate, but they are tough little survivors. Growing them yourself is both easy and very rewarding!
