How to Grow Snowdrop Flowers for Spring

As the name suggests, snowdrops (Galanthus nivalis) are some of the first spring flowers to bloom. This cheerful bulbous plant requires almost no maintenance or fuss as it can be grown in multiple locations in the garden and is not bothered by pests or diseases.

Snowdrops are related to amaryllis bulbs (Hippeastrum) which force northerners to bloom in winter (they grow as houseplants) and are also related to daffodils.

Bluebells are tiny plants (3 to 6 inches tall) that produce a small white bell-shaped flower (1 inch or less) that hangs from the end of a leafless green stem-like a "drop" before opening. When the flower opens, three outer petals arch over three inner petals.

The flower "settles" on the ground. The gray-green leaves are shaped like narrow blades and grow to about 4 inches long.
