Galanthus Chantry Contessa (Pre-Order)

One of the Chantry series of snowdrops raised by Wol and Sue Staines at Glen Chantry in Essex, long famous among galanthophiles for its quality introductions. It is a garden-selected seedling chosen for its refined flower, carrying the white segments and green markings characteristic of the group. Reliable published information specific to this cultivar is sparse, so it is best regarded as a choice and uncommon collector's snowdrop, suiting a fertile, well-drained, leafy soil in dappled shade.
