Snowdrops at East Neuk

East Neuk's snowdrops are late. They maybe need a some tender loving care.

Snowdrops are adaptable. They like sun or shade. They like a moist growing season followed by a dryer summer. They like an alkaline soil rather then an acid soil. A cool root run is better than one that is baked dry. When planting they like a pinch of bonemeal under them for encouragement.
