Also known as "Snowdrops" or "Milk Flowers", Galanthus is native to the eastern Mediterranean circa 1875. Prized as one of the earliest portents of spring, these drooping, milky-white naturalizers have dainty, inner tips of emerald-green. Great in rockgardens, border plantings or naturalized drifts, they are best in clusters of ten or more in partial sunlight. They are also a bit more tolerant of moisture in the soil than other bulbs. Circa the 1800s, they are great for heirloom gardens! Top size bulbs. 5" to 8". Bloom time: March/April. Plant 4" deep and 2" to 4" apart. Horticultural zones 3-8.
