Galanthus elwesii ‘Green Brush’

Galanthus ‘Green Brush’ has rounded, outer petals with green tips and inner petals that are nearly completely green. It is one of the best of the green-marked cultivars and lightly fragrant. Prefers drier sites, especially when dormant. Snowdrops are a harbinger of spring that bloom in late winter, often breaking through the snow. Their pendulous pure white flowers often have green markings, the small subtleties of which along with the variation in petal shapes beguile many gardeners who, having fallen down the rabbit hole, are known as galanthophiles. Beware! You could be next.
