Planting and Growing Information
Plant Chionodoxa forbesii bulbs in fall, setting them 2-4 inches deep and 3 inches apart (approximately 10 bulbs per square foot). They perform beautifully in zones 4-9 in well-drained soil. Flowering occurs in very early spring, often in March, with the strap-like foliage dying back by early summer. Allow foliage to wither naturally to ensure energy storage for next season's blooms. These adaptable bulbs excel in rock gardens, woodland settings, and naturalized lawn areas.
