Common Snowdrop

The common snowdrop is a small bulbous perennial herbaceous plant that heralds the arrival of spring, often blooming as early as January or February while snow is still on the ground. It features narrow, linear grey-green leaves and delicate, drooping white flowers with inner segments marked in green. Native to a wide area of Europe, these resilient plants naturalize easily in woodlands, lawns, and gardens, forming wonderful white carpets that signify the end of winter and the rebirth of nature's cycle.
