Snowdrops in the green<\/a> are lifted while they are growing: in leaf and quite possibly in flower.<\/p>

This is done because, providing they are transplanted quickly, they tend to establish more readily than stored snowdrop bulbs, with some other pros and cons<\/a>. <\/p>

How many Snowdrop bulbs do I need?<\/h3>

Allow about 75 per square metre to create beautiful looking drifts. <\/p>
