Funny you should mention it The witch but I've just bought yet another clump home from my M&Ds house - they have thousands of snowdrops growing in great drifts in their garden. In the front garden some have started to come up through the gravel drive!!! I can't get enough of snowdrops - they are gorgeous.

They take a while to establish Sweetleaf, they do honest - well most plants sulk after being moved - don't they? Snowdrops like a moist rich soil and they don't like being hot or dry and they prefer to be in part shade. |

They do take a while to establish. Hopefully next year you'll have masses Sweetleaf.

They are in a bed shaded by Forsythia (which is on death row, atm although I say that every year, before it flowers) The soil does tendto be dry in summer but they are well watered as I water the whole bed, Ill just have to have patience then.... |

Dry in summer is ok! Give them time Sweetleaf - hopefully they will be fine.
