Question ...does anyone grow Galanthus trojanus ?

[Anthony Darby]

Looks like the answer to the original question is a big no.

I intend to try and change that

Did you get a reply from Vojtec Holubec?

No -  Dima has it and others are growing it from seed...... that's what I read in the answers and searching the forum for other mentions of the plant, anyway.

[Anthony Darby]

Quite so Maggi.

Did you get a reply from Vojtec Holubec?

I understand that he hardly ever answers emails, but orders come when they are ready, so no worries. I also ordered snowdrop seeds from him and I hope they arrive sometime in December.

you're right, Maggi, there is no alternative, I meant wild growing species G. trojanus from the Trojanus clade, not any other species cultivar....

[Anthony Darby]

How long would it take to flower from seed?

[ashley]

Presumably the same as other Galanthus species, 3-5 years depending on conditions.

I have a flower bud on a plant grown from seed sent by Josef Jurasek, sown in January 2012, that I'm hopeful of.
