Planting and Growing Information
Plant Chionodoxa Forbesii bulbs in fall, approximately 4 inches deep and 4 inches apart in well-draining soil. They perform beautifully in full sun to partial shade, making them versatile for various landscape settings. The narrow, sword-like foliage emerges alongside the flowers in very early spring, typically February to March depending on climate zone. Allow foliage to die back naturally after blooming to ensure strong performance in subsequent years.
