Snow Drop

Overview

The Snowdrop (Galanthus nivalis) is an early-blooming perennial, heralding spring with delicate white, bell-shaped flowers. Reaching 3-6 inches in height, each stem supports a solitary drooping bloom. Its slender, glaucous leaves emerge amidst cold weather, often through snow. Preferring partially shaded areas with moist soil, Snowdrops naturalize well, creating serene white carpets. Hardy in zones 3-8, they provide a low-maintenance accent in woodland gardens and borders.
