Snowdrops are delicate, white flowers that typically bloom in late winter or early spring. They are among the first flowers to emerge after winter, often pushing through the snow, which is how they got their name. Snowdrops belong to the genus Galanthus and are known for their drooping, teardrop-shaped blossoms. These flowers thrive in temperate regions and prefer well-drained soil and partial shade. Snowdrops are often found in woodlands, gardens, and meadows. They are also popular in gardens for their early blooms, signaling the end of winter and the arrival of spring.
