Fix leaking sprinklers, valves, and pipes.

  • Description

  • Notes

Filling the gap between snowdrops and crocus, spring snowflake is a early season bulb with clear white, bell-shaped flowers with green dots, and strappy green leaves. The plant grows about 8 or so inches tall, and if well sited, will spread and naturalize. Well suited to shrub borders or under trees; the foliage will eventually go dormant by mid summer, so either mulch or plant with another groundcover like ajuga or lamium.
