More Information About Galanthus
Like most amaryllids, galanthus is a bulb and thrives in well-drained soils and winter sun. Commonly known as snowdrop, galanthus emerges very early in the year and often pops up through a blanket of snow. Galanthus pairs well with other early spring bulbs such as narcissus and liriope muscari. Some galanthus species contain galantamine, a compound used to treat Alzheimer's disease.
