Snowdrops are the first sign of spring!
Verified Buyer
Snowdrops are the first sign of spring! Always lay down chicken wire in the fall to protect bulbs. Squirrels and chipmunks love to relocate them.
modest and lovely
Verified Buyer
So welcome in March, one of the first flowers.
Beautiful Flowers
I grew up with lots of snow drops everywhere in Germany and was really missing them in the US. I was so happy when I found them here last fall. All 100 bulbs sprouted (if I counted correctly) and most bloomed. We had some harsh frosts that killed a few that were just about to bloom.
Lovely early blooms
I want something to bloom in my garden all the time. These started blooming in mid-February in Zone 8 and are lovely to have before the tulips and daffodils start.
I would purchase the snowdrops again.
Verified Buyer
I planted the snowdrops last fall, 2019, and they bloomed beautifully this early to mid February.
Ordering more
Verified Buyer
They popped up in late winter. I love the delicate, pendulous blooms. I will probably order more.
I suggest everyone get them to help with the winter blues!
Verified Buyer
They bloomed mid January and stayed for at least 3 weeks! Such a pleasure to see flowers so early.

- Q
After blooming, can tops be cut down and annual plants planted on top?
- Asked by Cary
- Verified Reply - AngelaSnowdrop bulbs will be close to the surface and you will need to be careful not to dig them up. Planting annuals from seed is a way to avoid that problem. I like Sweet Alyssum and it will often self seed on it's own. If you plant the Snowdrops in clumps and have them marked, you can dig between and plant mature annuals.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Hello, I planted these last year. Followed instructions of how to plant. They are only 2 inches tall with a very tiny bloom. What happened?
- Asked by Ann
- Verified Reply - AngelaIt sounds like they didn't receive enough chill hours. If you had a very mild winter and early spring warm up, it can cause the plants to be shorter. Be sure to allow the foliage to die back naturally rather than mowing. You may also want to give them a little fertilizer once the flowering is complete. Any balanced fertilizer will work.
