Planting snowdrops ‘in the green’ is a great way to fill your yard with winter charm. The arrival of these delicate blooms, with their white, nodding heads and subtle scent, are a clear sign that spring is around the corner, but these flower bulbs can be tricky to get started.
These blooms can be planted as dry, dormant bulbs in fall, but success can vary. As a result, many galanthophiles (aka avid snowdrop collectors) and pro gardeners insist on planting snowdrops ‘in the green’ - and it’s really not as complicated as it sounds. It refers to the plant immediately after it has flowered but still has green leaves intact.
