Galanthus nivalis produces lovely single white blossoms. One of the first flowers to appear in spring in our garden—it pushes out of the ground before the snow has gone. Naturalizes very well.
The species in this small genus bloom very early, and their graceful white flowers are extremely welcome in a landscape as the snow retreats. They thrive in rich, woodsy soil and show best in deciduous shade, under bushes or trees or along woodland paths. Like other members of the Amaryllis family, Snowdrops are avoided by deer and voles.
