COMMENTS: From south east Europe, the 2-inch blooms have deep green markings at the base and the tips of the inner segments. The leaves are gray-green up to 9-inches long. Slower than other species to naturalize and one of the earliest to bloom, often in February. A generally sturdier plant than G. nivalis. All galanthus require a fertile soil.
