Snowdrop, Galanthus Nivalis

These delicate flowers will create the best little woodland area in your low-light garden. Snowdrops are known to have hardy bulbs, and both single and double-flowered varieties represent the loveliest ground cover within a lawn or around trees and shrubs.

They are very easy to grow, they thrive in full shade and moist, heavy soils. Plus, when snowdrops bloom, it’s one of the first signs that spring is here and it’s waiting for a signal. In this case, the snowdrop gives the signal. However, remember: if you grow snowdrops in a sunny spot, the flowers won’t last for long.

Snake’s Head Fritillary, Fritillaria Meleagris

Snake’s Head Fritillary is one of a kind! The flora boasts rich color and a very interesting design. It is a wonderful ground cover, even if it’s part of a lawn or not, and the little flowers will always self-seed, so your gardening skills won’t be needed much.

    I clicked on this because I thought it was going to be for house plants. Inside of my home is rather dark (due to lots of trees outside). Have you done one for indoor plants that like less light?

    Can you please post about houseplants that need little or no light or that can live with artificial light?
