Very pretty with crepe myrtles or with the dogwoods up front? Snowdrop
Galanthus
One of the earliest harbingers of spring, the delicate-looking snowdrop is tough enough to poke through snow in Northern gardens and to bloom through winter in the South. Lovely in meadows, beds and borders, graceful snowdrops feature a solitary bell-shaped white flower tipped in green.
Favorite varieties include the reliable Galanthus nivalis that spreads slowly and the bigger-flowered 'Sam Arnott' with heart-shaped green markings.
USDA zones: 3 to 9
Sun requirement: Full sun to full shade, depending on variety
Height: 5 to 12 inches
Bloom time: February and March
Planting tips: Bulbs are fragile, so plant as soon as possible.
