Ed Dunn had one clump of Galanthus nivalis, the common snowdrop in the garden (about 2 feet in diameter). In 1996 this clump was divided into multiple clumps that were then redivided and spread apart in 1999. From the one original clump there are now approximately 5,000 bulbs. We liquid feed them every two weeks after flowering until the foliage begins to yellow and die down. This extra feeding since 1999 has made them multiply much more quickly than usual. We hope to have a snowdrop tour date in the next year or two, as we are adding more to the collection.
