A friend wants some of my snowdrops, but I don't want to damage them by
digging them up at the wrong time. How and when should I do it?
now is a good time - it is best to move them "in the green" which means
whilst they have green leaves sticking up.
That has not been our experience. Bas has dug them up at any time
between January and May without harming them.
Nonetheless, all experts agree that moving them 'in the green' is the way to
do it and one should NOT wait for them to die down.
Why?
