Instructions
Top Tip
Galanthus thrives in cool, moist conditions. After blooming, allow the foliage to die back naturally before removing it to encourage next year’s growth.
How to Water
Water Galanthus lightly after planting to settle the soil. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged during their growing season in spring. Reduce watering after flowering, as they go dormant in summer.
How to Plant
Plant Galanthus bulbs in well-draining soil with partial to full shade. Dig a hole about 7-10cm deep, place the bulb with the pointed end facing up, and backfill with soil. Space bulbs 7-10cm apart. Plant in autumn for spring blooms.
