Galanthus elwesii var. monostictus 'H. Purcell' was selected in Holland by Mr Leo Schoorl of Lisse, in 1986 from a batch of snowdrops which came from Izmir, in Turkey. It has has a large, vigorous growth habit and larger flowers, which are borne with noticeably wider leaves than more normal forms. 

Part of a composer series which also includes WA Mozart, Benjamin Britten, GF Handel, Flowering is later than Handel and Hayden. By the time those two are fully opened Purcell is only showing buds at ground level.
