i inherited a few snowdrops here& last year bought 100 in the green & planted them .. I went out yesterday to clear leaves& uncover any emerging shoots & there don't seem to be more than I started with , will I have to wait or have they been eaten?
My snowdrops aren’t showing yet, was planting some peonies yesterday and came across a few of my daffs and they are only just beginning to shoot. I wouldn’t worry about them for a few weeks yet

oh good! Thankyou
have you dug down to see if they are still there. Maybe you planted them a bit deep, my best ones are sitting only just below the soil.
I get the ones that push themselves out as well. I gather them up and transplant them to a new place.
Perhaps yours are a later variety like the March ones? is the soil completely compacted? My feb ones started showing a few weeks back

I'm getting that too. Why do bulbs push themselves out of the ground Mine have no competition.
They do Pauline, like mad! You will get big clumps in no time, they need splitting every few years to get the best from them.
I love them, first signs of Spring I think. If you leave the dead flowers on they will also self seed.
