These simple, low, but bright flowers are called spring flowers for a reason. They bloom very early, practically do not need care, there are many varieties. A direct competitor to the snowdrop in terms of attractiveness and early flowering. Looks good next to him in the flowerbed.

Brandushka or bulbokodium

The gentle folk name reflects all the benefits of this early spring flower. Simple enough, but noticeable, attractive, gentle, short. There is no stem, it blooms immediately on the corm. Often, brandy are planted as a spring decoration for an alpine slide, in a rocky garden or as the first low row of a mixborder.

It is important to remember that all early spring flowers should be planted in late summer or early fall. In this case, they will overwinter, become hardened and as soon as the snow melts and the spring sun warms up, they will show active growth. So this fall, do not forget to create your most beautiful and delicate spring flower bed of perennials.
