Galanthus reginae-olgae suppliers for large quantities?
« on: July 06, 2018, 04:55:25 PM »
Does anyone know anywhere that one of the National Trust Gardens can obtain G. reginae-olgae in wholesale quantities for planting out?

At one time Anglesey Abbey had enough to make a decent display over a few square metres on their winter walk but they're not there anymore; Botrytis did for them, I think.  Reginae-olgae can be quite picky about where it will grow.  I hope that they have tested the locale with a scattering of bulbs before ordering a large quantity - if indeed they can be obtained wholesale.

Alan - Perhaps Melvyn might have enough common ones for sale for a test go.
