Snowdrops flower in spring as a survival strategy to take advantage of the early sunlight before trees fully leaf out. These hardy plants can bloom even when there is still snow on the ground, allowing them to attract pollinators and reproduce early in the season. Their ability to withstand cold temperatures and thrive in nutrient-poor soil also contributes to their early flowering. This timing ensures that they can complete their life cycle before competing plants emerge.
