This old favorite and one of the earlier flowering for us often December in to January. An easy doer; grey-green leaves 4-5" in height and typical (sorry snowdrop people), delicate white nodding flowers a green chevron within. With effort these can be "naturalized" into attractive winter patches in the garden. Place in bright winter light and not too soggy soil. USDA zone 4.

Some folks just can't wait for spring and we have an easy solution for them: Fall blooming snowdrops. The leaves are gray-green and emerge after the flowers, staying through the winter and spring. Needs a well drained soil.
