Galanthus nivalis
Snow Drop
Description
Galanthus nivalis, commonly called Snow Drop, is a bulb that reaches 6-9" tall and 3" wide. The deciduous leaves are long, narrow and gray-green. During early spring, solitary, white, nodding flowers appear from the foliage on arching thin branches. Flowers have a honey fragrance. This plant tolerates full to part sun with well-draining, moist soil. Bees love the flowers. Do not ingest- it may be toxic. Over years, they will naturalize an area.
