Has anyone here grown snowdrops successfully from dry bulbs? The books say
that you are doomed to failure if you try, but I just wondered if anyone has
tried, and what happened.

I have, in the first year they all came up but only some flowered, the
second year they all flowered, I didn't lose any.

I also have, about 75% success. However I have since planted in the
green, sadly though there are less this year than last. Very saddened.

I'm sure we have less and less every year, although we plant more and more.

My experience is the same; less each year although I plant more.
YET the early flowering oned I wrote about recently are obviously well
established and multiplying!
