If you are looking for a snowdrop that has that extra impact, then Galanthus elwesii is worth looking out for. It is a giant-flowered snowdrop with honey-scented blooms, which have two delicate green marks on the petals. Like all snowdrops, G. elwesii is most successfully transplanted while growing (in the green), and dry bulbs often take a season to settle down before flowering.
