Notes
'S. Arnott' snowdrop (Galanthus 'S. Arnott') is a bulb for borders, containers, and ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun to full shade and average to moist soil of most types. Its large, fragrant white flowers hang from upright stems and show a green inverted v on the inner petals. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. The blooms open in late winter, often breaking through the snow, and bees visit them.
Pairs well with Carlton daffodil, Fire and Ice hosta, Sensitive fern, and Picture tulip.
