G. fosteri 'Scented Form' is a great improvement and has made an interesting parent for a few hybrids here too.
I would heartily recommend this cultivar.
It does not produce all those shy flowering offsets. Just bulikng up slowly and steadily as any good snowdrop should.
If one was to let it seed freely it would most likely naturalise.
It is always good to start with a good clone of a species.
I see that someone on the SRGC forum recommends G. ikariae. This grows in very wet places that dry up later.
It does seed very nicely and true in the G. i. 'Walter Butt' cultivar.
I have a great patch of this and can give seed from the local garden where it grows in isolation and in number!
