Exciting to wait and see what you’ve got in a new garden … 😊
The hardest thing is to try and leave it alone for a year when I have the plans I do for it!
It's a decent-sized garden and the former owner was a keen gardener so I'm sure there will be a lot of surprises in the next few months as we only moved in at the end of August.
I hope I'm not taking away attention from the OP but I'd appreciate some information. I love snowdrops but since I've lived here, I've had poor luck getting them to grow. I finally had a small patch behind my camellia that came back for several years and bloomed before any of my other bulbs. The last several summers have had periods of droughts. I don't remember seeing them last year and I haven't seen them this year yet either, although we are just coming out of a really cold snowy spell. Are they gone for good? Could they come back if weather connections are more favorable? I don't know what species they are.
The February edition of the RHS Garden has a piece about planting snowdrops in the green, also the plant ID feature on snowdrops has pictures of six named varieties.
