Do snowdrops need lots of sun

When you have them on your desktop, they don’t need any sun

In your garden, snowdrop flowers don’t need much sun either. Galanthus can grow under the bare branches of trees in areas that will be shady later in the year.

They do need a bit of light, so don’t plant them under evergreens, unless you have no other choice. My snowdrops grow also very close to my evergreens.

Snowdrop flowers do most of their growing before the late spring leaf canopy is big enough to create too much shade.

But like we said just now: this snowdrop desktop wallpaper can best be enjoyed without any sun on your screen!

Galanthus nivalis is the most common cultivar in today’s snowdrop flowers. They are about 4 – 6 inches (10 – 15 cm) tall.

Like most spring blooming snowdrop flowers have long blooming seasons and normally the flowers last 4 – 6 weeks.

Only 1 or 2 flowers will be produced per snowdrop bulb each year and they only last a few days in water, but when you have an abundance of snowdrop flowers, they are adorable in tiny vases.

Galanthus Elwesii

Other frequently available snowdrop bulbs are Galanthus elwesii or Giant Snowdrops. They have larger flowers, taller stems and larger green spots on the petals.

As with all flower bulbs, do leave the leaves of the snowdrop to die back naturally. This is necessary because the leaves provide nutrition to the snowdrop bulb for next years’ snowdrop flowers.
