Title: Galanthus Seeds
Post by: Jeffnz on July 23, 2009, 12:11:09 AM

I have an enquiry from a gardener in Argentina who is looking for galanthus seed, not too concerned about what the seed is as he is looking to try germinating and growing the seed in his garden. He has success with hellebores so hopes that this will extend to snow drops.
If any one can assist then I can send the details to my contact. Thanks Jeff

Jeff,
Witton Lane Seeds -loads of different ones.
(see 'links' pages.....).
Chiltern Seeds also list Galanthus.
I would imagine it's the sort of thing JJA Seeds do too (but write to them, don't use their website as it 'died' a while ago).
