SNOWDROPS are one of the first flowers to bloom in the new year, sometimes even as early as the beginning of January.
They also have to be planted early as the bulbs can dry out, so they are always one of the first bulbs to plant in September if you want to guarantee getting the best results.
Planting bulbs too late or too early can result in problems like weak growth or rot, so September marks the start of bulb planting season.
Aim to plant spring-flowering bulbs such as snowdrops, daffodils and crocus before the end of September.”
It’s best to plant snowdrops in a shady spot with moist soil such as under a tree. They are also a good choice for early spring garden planter ideas.
Giant varieties like Snowdrop Elwesii bulbs grow up to 30cm tall, and have a beautiful honey fragrance.
