It's worth noting that although most people think of this handsome species as an autumn-flowering bulb, there are populations at least in the southern Peloponnese which flower in February or even March, at what northern Europeans think of as "snowdrop time". They maintain this habit in cultivation.
Our Greek garden, at low altitude on the coast, is really too warm in early spring for this species. We had it growing there in deep shade by a water tank, which may have helped moderate the temperature, and it was reasonably happy, but when we removed the water tank it gradually died out.
