Planting Instructions for 'In The Green' Bulbs:
The bulbs should be planted as soon as you receive them. They are best planted where they can be left undisturbed. If the earth is frozen solid, then you’ll need to wait until it is crumbly again. If you do need to wait for a couple of days, sink the bulbs in some damp compost in a sheltered place until the soil is crumbly again. Please note, by the end of March the Snowdrops will be finishing flowering or dying back. Plant them where they can remain undisturbed and they will start to sprout again next winter.
