This one plant should be planted before the end of November if you’re hoping to have this pretty flower in your garden.
Snowdrops should be planted before the end of this month which is the last chance you’ll have to plant this flower.
According to the National Trust, these pretty white flowers will be ready to bloom in spring covering your garden with a refreshing floral display.
The most common type of snowdrop is galanthus nivalis which self-seeds and spreads itself meaning you’ll be able to enjoy your display with minimal effort.
If you’re wondering where the best place to plant your flowers is, you’ll want to make sure they are in a partially shaded area such as under a tree.

As soon as you have planted the snowdrops, make sure to water them straight away and then you can leave them alone to grow.
According to BBC Gardeners World, snowdrops can be tricky to plant successfully. It’s best to buy snowdrops in the green from garden centres or online which are much more likely to grow better.
Once they are planted, there’s no maintenance required and you should allow foliage to die back naturally to ensure the nutrients from the leaves are returned to the bulbs.
Every few years, you should divide established clumps for best chances of successful growth.

When planting the bulbs, these should be approximately three to four inches apart to allow for natural clumping and future growth.
