Description
This species was found in 1935 by a Russian botanist and named after Woronow, a plant collector from Georgia. This snowdrop is so clearly different that it is easy recognisable. The leaves are much wider than those of other snowdrops and glossy green in colour. The outer petals are white and much longer than the inner, which are covered in green marks.
BELONGS TO THE FAMILY OF AMARYLLIDACEAE
To date, nineteen species of snowdrop are known. This could well change, and not all botanists agree on this number. Species occur in the wild somewhere in the world. Many snowdrops are very variable, and if someone discovers an unusual snowdrop and gives it a name, another cultivar is added. Thanks to all these different species and cultivars, it is possible to have snowdrops blooming in the garden from autumn until April. It is important to plant the bulbs immediately upon arrival.
