(Galanthus)

Pendent snowy blooms and relatively broad leaves with a silvery midstripe make this small bulbous perennial a real attention getter in the late winter garden. Nodding from a slender arching stem ("pedicel") atop an ankle-high scape, the solitary, white, honey-scented flower has six petal-like segments in two whorls. The three spoon-shaped outer segments draw back in warm weather to reveal the three much smaller inner segments, which form a tube-like structure. The inner segments have notched tips...

The giant snowdrop is better suited to mild winter climates than the common snowdrop. The bulbs are poisonous if eaten.

Snowdrops couldn’t be easier or more rewarding to grow. Plant the bulbs in...
