Description

Snowdrop flowers (Galanthus) are grown in both cold winter regions and moderate winters, but keep in mind they truly dislike warm winters. So, if you live in Southern California, Florida, or other hot climates, you will have to pass on having the snowdrop flower in your garden. Rabbits and deer won’t eat them either, and most chipmunks and mice will leave them alone. LIGHT: Light shade, preferably under a deciduous plant so that it receives full sunlight in the winter. Even the shady side of your house would do well for them. SOIL: You should pick a site with moist but well-drained soil somewhere under a tree or shrub. SOW: When growing from seed, sow the seed in the spring time at a depth of 1/4 inch. GERMINATION: Snowdrop seed takes about a month to germinate at 59 to 64°F. BLOOM PERIOD: Snowdrops have strap-like leaves and come into bloom from the middle through to the end of winter.
