Should You Feed Snowdrops?

Give them a light feed with a granular general plant food after flowering. Watering with a liquid plant food after flowering and until the foliage starts to die down will help build up their strength and size for the following year's flowering. Allow the foliage to die down naturally in spring.

How do you feed snowdrops?

Snowdrops are not hungry plants but applying a potassium-rich general fertiliser at about 50g per square metre in winter is helpful.

Why are my snowdrops not flowering?

The most common reason for a bulb not flowering is that it has been planted too shallow. Whilst the plant is in leaf, but not flower, is the best time to dig up the bulb and re plant to a greater depth.
