(Price per 1 bulb)From the grower:
This rare Galanthus species hails from the Greek island of Samothraki in the northern Aegean Sea, where the famed Nike/Winged Victory statue was also discovered. Found in the wetter lowlands amid streams. It produces two spikes per bulb when grown well and is closely related to G. nivalis but features smooth, shiny green leaves without the white median marking. This came with the numerical marking of ‘406’. These are a direct division of that numbered but unnamed cultivar.
