I chucked a few in a corner of my garden this afternoon. With my pokey garden I only have room for a small patch so if they don't take hold, it won't break the bank for me to replenishment them any year I feel so inclined.
Mine are just starting to open up. We did buy some 'in the green' but they never survived. I would buy small pots of them in flower, and one divided so much I had 60 bulbs which I spread around my front garden, and they have come up since dividing.
I planted some in my shaded “woodland” area as dry bulbs at the end of last autumn.
It’s an area I had to walk on a lot and the ground has been pressed down quite a lot but some of them are popping through and I can see some early flowers! Very exciting!
But I have some groundcover about to start growing there (vinca minor). The snowdrops look quite short (2 or 3 inches with white flowers starting to form). I hope the vinca won’t smother them in years to come ...

They look really impressive (certainly more so than the hedge)
