Galanthus nivalis 'Donaugold' is a lovely, gentle yellow snowdrop. The ovary is a soft, pale yellow and the inner segments carry a neat mark at the apex in the same mellow shade, which sits beautifully against the clean white outers.

It's a well-shaped, upright little plant with slender stems and nicely rounded flowers, and it makes a subtle, pretty addition to any collection of yellow snowdrops. It flowers here in the North West from late January into early February.

I believe it belongs to the Sandersii Group of yellow nivalis, and that it came from Wolfgang Kletzing in Germany. I understand the yellow tends to colour up better once the plant has settled in, so it's worth giving it a season or two.

(I like to describe the plants I sell as best I can from my own experience of growing them.  For the history of each individual snowdrop, I use books, websites and information from friends and others in the snowdrop world, some of whom have given me insight into information about cultivars that isn't readily available elsewhere.  Where information has come from a third party, I always try to make sure the source is credited.  Please note that not everything written about snowdrops in books or on websites is completely accurate, so if you spot anything on my website that you believe is wrong, I'd be really grateful if you would get in touch and let me know.  The same goes for any information you may have about any of the snowdrops on my website: if you'd be willing to share it with me and happy for me to publish it here, I'd love to hear from you.  I'm always open to changing the information on my listings, and I'll always credit any new sources.  My ultimate aim is for this website to be a trusted reference for snowdrops, so it is vital to me that the information is accurate.)
