    Common snowdrops (Galanthus nivalis) are one of the first spring flowers, blooming in February and March. They are tiny plants up to 6 inches tall, bearing one white flower hanging down like a drop. They are perennial bulbs that tolerate partial shade to full sun in most soil types with little maintenance. Snowdrops spread naturally over time and are virtually immune to deer, making them suitable for woodland gardens, under trees, or rock gardens to provide early season interest.

    Galanthus nivalis

    common snowdrop
    Kingdom: Plantae
    Clade: Angiosperms
    Clade: Monocots.
    Order: Asparagales
    Family: Amaryllidaceae
    Sub family: Amaryllidoideae
    Tribe: Galantheae
    Genus: Galanthus

    As the name suggests, snowdrops (Galanthus nivalis) are one of the first of all


    spring flowers to bloom; depending on region, they appear in February and
    March, often while snow still blankets the ground. This low-growing plant
    tolerates partial shade to full sun, a variety of soil types, and requires almost no
    maintenance. It is toxic to animals and humans, but where this is not a concern,
    it offers the benefit of being virtually immune to feeding by deer and other
    wildlife.
