Carolyn's Shade Gardens - Yellow Snowdrop "Madelaine"

'Madelaine', a most vigorous yellow snowdrop (G. plicatus), is a Crimean snowdrop similar in looks to ‘Wendy’s Gold,’ but with an especially ethereal yellow that glows in the late winter sunlight. In our garden, it thrives in an open, sloping, east-facing location, sunnier and drier than most spots where we grow snowdrops. It was found in a group of Scottish snowdrops in 2002 by Joe Sharman of Monksilver Nursery in Cambridge. A personal favorite of Carolyn's, it is described on page 73 in "Some More Snowdrops" by Anne Repnow. 1 Quart container Carolyn's Shade Gardens has been selling snowdrops since 1992, transferring their passion for this fascinating plant to more customers throughout the US every year. They sell their snowdrops, in addition to some leucojums and eranthis, in late winter as growing plants because that is the best way to insure vigorous and healthy snowdrops in our climate.
