Notes
'Magnet' snowdrop (Galanthus 'Magnet') 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 white flowers hang from long, thin stems and shake in the breeze. It blooms in late winter and often breaks through the snow. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Bees visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Cheerfulness daffodil, Fire and Ice hosta, and Picture tulip.
