I read in a Hessayon book at the weekend that snowdrops will compete
successfully with the fine grasses in a woodland setting but not with
the vigorous grasses of a lawn.

The best show of snowdrops I have seen was under a deciduous tree -
in clumps amid a carpet of aconites (Eranthis). The eranthis was one
of the paler gold species and the effect was "a picture" on a frosty
spring morning.

I should add that the show was not right up by the bole of the tree
but in a halo around the drip circle.
