snowdrops like to grow in fairly deep, well-drained friable soilin sun or light shade. When planting, a good dusting of bone mealand a handful of extra coarse sharp sand around each bulb willhelp to keep away disease.

if snowdrops are le undisturbed for too long they could beginto “go back” which means fewer bulbs will flower and they couldbe more prone to disease. in some cases, the whole clump may dieout. ey should therefore be lied about every three years. Morefrequent liing is recommended where there is no sign of increase.clumps should be carefully teased apart and replanted. a surfacedressing of bone meal should be given in early autumn and a thinmulch of garden or mushroom compost applied in December willhelp improve the look of the flowers.

one of the great pleasures in gardening is viewing snowdropson a warm day in winter; the sun at this time of year is very low inthe sky and can be blindingly bright. remember therefore to plantyour snowdrops so that you can look at them with the sun behind you.
