Growing Information
Plant snowdrops in the dappled shade of deciduous trees. Snowdrop bulbs thrive in reliably moist, well drained soil that is rich in organic matter. Add plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost to the soil prior to planting to improve less than ideal soils. Plant bulbs at a depth of 10cm (4″) and a distance of 10cm (4″) apart. For natural looking drifts of snowdrop flowers, gently cast them across the planting area and plant them where they land!
