Hi Group,
Two years ago I saved clumps of snowdrop 'bulbs' from a lawn about to be bulldozed. I split them and planted them in my lawn. The first year they flowered some and looked well.
This year however there was lots of greenery from them but no flowers.
So I am looking please for advice on how to encourage them to flower in the future? Is there any particular dressing they like?
I have avoided mowing them up to now. Should I just go ahead and cut?
Should I dig them out and replant?
The 'lawn' is not great - weedy and mossy

Any advice, suggestions or guidance much appreciated.

Ger

Don't mow till leaves are dying.

Can't answer other questions, but why not move a couple and see what happens.
