Notes
'Straffan' snowdrop (Galanthus 'Straffan') 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 or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. The flowers open from early winter to late spring, and bees visit them.
Pairs well with Cheerfulness daffodil, Spanish bluebell, Berry Poppins winterberry, and Dalmatian bellflower.
