Characteristics and uses:
The Snowdrop bush is a highly ramified, bushy shrub. In May-June, it is covered with hanging, small, bell-shaped, white flowers. These fragrant flowers are honey-producing. The flowers are followed by nut sized, non-edible fruits for humans, which contains a very hard seed.
The Snowdrop bush does not require any particular care. If it becomes necessary, pruning can be done, but only after blooming. It can be grown on its own, among other shrubs or in a flowering hedge.
Some written work from Pline narrate that the Snowdrop bush was used in perfumes, in cough remedies, and to treat throat’s and chest’s infections. Nowadays, you can still find Styrax-based ointments thanks to its antiseptic and healing properties. Finally, the resin of the Snowdrop bush can be used as incense.
