TRANSPLANTING SNOWDROPS


I love the snowdrop. Its fresh white colour, the delicacy of the green markings inside the flower. Its humble, graceful stance. The anticipation of a new season beginning. If you have a drift of snowdrops and would like to share some with a friend, or simply introduce them into another part of your garden, the best time to do so is after they have finished flowering. Dig up a clump of the bulbs with a spade, and replant in your chosen position. Try and put them somewhere where they wont be too disturbed. Under a tree is a good spot, as they will get the light that summer flowers will not.
