There are so many challenges these days, but it’s the little things in life that can bring us back to happiness and beauty. Such as little growing things like adorable, petite, white flowers that hang like teeny bells close to the ground in the early spring.
Snowdrops, botanically known as Galanthus, are one of the most asked for plants or bulbs this time of year. Plant them in a woodland or part-shade location and enjoy as they grow and spread year after year. A great companion plant is Hardy Cyclamen to double your happiness!
