Bees🐝 Needs pollinatorsGalanthus, commonly known as snowdrop, is a small genus of approximately 20 species of bulbous perennial herbaceous plants in the family Amaryllidaceae. The plants have two linear leaves and a single small white drooping bell-shaped flower with six petal-like tepals in two circles, with the smaller inner petals bearing green markings. Most species flower in winter, before the vernal equinox, and are typically found in shady pastures, woods and orchards on damp soils.
Prefers moist heavy loam, medium (loamy) and heavy (clay) soils. Suitable for mildly acid, neutral and basic (mildly alkaline) soils.
Thrives in the same partial sun, moderate water conditions as Snowdrop
