Snowdrops Ghiocei Galanthus nivalis Eastern European Spring flowers bulbs
Throughout the years, I have always grown snowdrops in my gardens and I just cannot imagine spring without them.In some European countries, these beautiful and delicate flowers symbolize the arrival of spring. They are a member of the amaryllis family, are native to Europe and Eurasia, and are not considered invasive. They are among the earliest flowers to bloom, earlier than crocuses and often emerging through February snow.
Most spring flowering bulbs are planted during fall, however, snow drops are one of the few exceptions and they must be planted during spring while they are still growing, flowering, or after flowers have faded. This is a method of planting called "planting in the green" and it refers to the fact that leaves are still green when planting and bulbs are not yet dormant. Planting dormant bulbs of snowdrops during fall is often unsuccessful. For future naturalization in your own garden, also keep in mind to divide the clump and replant only during spring when the plants are actively growing. They will multiply rapidly on their own when the soil is rich, fertile, well drained, and conditions suit them.
Upon receiving the bulbs, plant them about 2-3 inches deep and water thoroughly. Plant them under deciduous trees and shrubs, in shade, semi-shade, or full sun. They do best in locations that receive plenty of sun during spring and semi shade and shade during summer. That is usually under deciduous trees, where the soil does not go completely dry during the summer. They prefer soil that drains well and it is rich in organic matter, particularly decomposing leaves that fall from the trees in fall. Leave the foliage die down naturally after planting.

Bloom time: February-March

Resistant to deer and other critters.
Your snowdrops will be shipped without a pot. I will remove the excess dirt and wrap them carefully in order to prevent damage and dehydration during transport. If flowers no longer look their best or have faded or even fell, do not worry because you are not planting them for a 2024 bloom. These snowdrops are in bloom now and will soon finish their spring life. You are planting for 2025. Plant immediately upon receiving them.
You will receive snowdrops similar to the photos provided in the description. Please ask all your questions and check all the pictures before bidding/buying.

RETURNS.
I
treat everybody with the same consideration and respect I would want
for myself. That is why I go above and beyond to carefully inspect
every item I sell, and I spend a considerable amount of time taking
as many pictures as possible. It is my priority to make my buyer
happy, as well as to build a strong reputation as a seller on ebay. I
have been an ebay seller for over 13 years.
I do not accept
returns unless my item was grossly misrepresented, it does not match
the listing description, or I sent the wrong item, as well as under
exceptional circumstances explained by the buyer.
I do not
accept returns if you bought the wrong size (in shoes/clothes), you
did not pay attention to the item's measurements, pictures, or
description. You must contact me within 7 days after receiving the
item and explain your exceptional circumstances.
If the item purchased is a live plant, you have to contact me the day you receive it. A live plant can get damaged by being left for too long in high heat/cold on a porch or in the mail box. Please keep your weather and the season in mind prior to purchase. If you have extreme daytime or night time temperatures, please hold on on ordering.
The following is a note for dishonest buyers ONLY:
As of 2020, I modified my return policy. Many years of selling on ebay and a few negative experiences with some dishonest buyers who buy items on ebay, use them, and then request a return, forced me to add the following:
I
do not accept returns if you contact me weeks or months later
(outside of the 7 days time frame, or 1 day for plants). I take
pictures before shipping the item as proof that I sent the correct
item for that particular shipping label. Do not cut, stain, use,
and/or damage the item and claim that's the way I sent it to you
because I take way more pictures than I upload for the listing, and I
will probably have a picture you would not expect and I will prove
you are not telling the truth.
Unused
and unopened products can be returned only with my authorization and
return shipping will be paid by the buyer.
Shipping
and handling charges that I incurred to ship the order will be
deducted from the refund. I incur shipping and handling costs even
when I offer free shipping, so all such costs will be deducted from
the refund.Returns are accepted with authorization only.Please`read
all auction carefully before purchase.
By
making an offer, placing a bid and/or making a purchase you are
agreeing to all terms set forth in this listing and you are
committing to paying for the item.
If
you need more information or pictures before buying an item, please
let me know before you buy/bid, and I will gladly provide all the
additional information/pictures you need. Please check the pictures
carefully and ask all your questions before buying or bidding.
Items
are as described and Sales are final.
PAYMENT
PayPal
is accepted as form of payment.
Payment is due within 3 days.
If you are experiencing difficulties paying within that time frame,
please email me before that limit.
Many thanks!
SHIPPING
As
a rule, I carefully package the item, and I ship within 3 business
days after payment is received. However I usually ship the next day
in most cases. Weekends and/or holidays, as per ebay, are not
considered "business days."
Free shipping applies
only to buyers from the US.
I combine shipping.
INTERNATIONAL
SHIPPING
Free
shipping applies only to buyers from the US. International shipping
will be calculated based on location.
I ship internationally to all locations. Estimated arrival date and tracking information cannot be provided by the US Postal Services. Please check with your country's customs office to determine import duties, taxes and charges. These charges are not included in the item price.
FEEDBACK
I
strive very hard for positive feedback and a 5 star rating***** .
Please be a proactive ebayer and if you are unhappy with your
item, do contact me before leaving feedback. It is better for both of
us to work out a resolution before leaving me less than positive
feedback which will negatively impact my account.
