Growing Info

How to Plant	Dig a hole and tuck your bulbs in, pointy side up, about 6" deep (roughly 3 times the size of the bulbs) and about 3" apart. You can plant them closer for a fuller display, but be sure the bulbs don't touch. Now fill in the soil, give it a few solid pats so it compresses around the bulbs, then give it a long drink of water. Mark that pot or spot with your wooden plant marker so you know where your Snowflakes live now. Wait for spring
Where to Plant	Find a place that gets at least partial sun; 4 or more hours a day
When to Plant	Plant in the Fall, anytime before the ground freezes for the last time
When to Expect Blooms	Mid Spring
Care Instructions	Water when soil is dry, once leaves appear
Extra Credit	If planting in a container, be sure the pot has ample drainage. Fill the bottom 2-3" of the pot with pebbles to prevent clogging. Wait for the foliage to wilt and turn yellow before clipping it back late spring, so that the bulb can store energy for the next year's blooms. When picking flowers for bouquets, be sure to leave at least one leaf per plant
