    I love their nodding heads,as if they were saying "spring is finally here".
    They look beautiful when planted in drifts under deciduous trees or in a field.
    Snowdrops like well drained, humus rich soil and will multiply on they own accord if they are happy, forming clumps which could be divided every 4 years or so to prevent over crowding.

    Hardy bulb native to the Old World. Could probably be forced indoors, like other bulbs, then planted outside. However, it flowers so early anyway that there might not be much point.
