Snowdrops are charming little bulbs that often pop up while snow is still on the ground. They bring a welcome splash of white to the garden during the late winter months. These hardy perennials naturalize well in woodland settings or under deciduous trees.

- Keep the soil evenly moist while the plant is actively growing and flowering.
- Engrais
- Apply a balanced bulb fertilizer once in the early spring as new growth appears.

- Divide and replant clumps every few years if they become too crowded.
