Eranthis hyemalis - 2018

Very vibrant and so nice to see them fully open in the sunshine.

Love these. I've hankered after some for ages, and resisted some beauties at a local nursery but apparently they need a perpetually moist soil and though ours is soggy now it dries out in summer?

Stera - these are in clay soil improved with grit and are very happy there. It can get baked in summer but the soil is shaded by foliage from perennials.

Ours are out but sparse.....

I bulked mine up a couple of years ago by buying them "in the green" from Eurobulbs. Ordered more snowdrops this year and they arrived on Saturday. Frozen fingers by the time I had planted them!

Good idea, I think ours came from a nursery in Wales! just normal snowdrops Andrew?

Yes, the bog standard ones. They also sell doubles and a couple of others too.
