Galanthus blooms in early Spring in my Zone 8b. Bulbs are planted in South Bed; grows 12 to 15 inches high. Spacing is 3 inches apart;
Hardy to 18 degrees Full sun exposure for more blooms. Makes lovely border planting.

Bloom color: snow white with dark green foliate shaped similar to green onions. Foliage is beautiful year round and propagates by bulb division Bulbs need to be dug and divided every 3 years for more blooms.
