Planting and growing information
Plant 'Snipe' bulbs in fall, approximately 3-8 inches deep (three times the bulb height) in well-drained, compost-enriched soil. This adaptable performer thrives in USDA zones 3-9 and performs beautifully in full sun to partial shade locations. For naturalized plantings, group bulbs in clusters of 5-7 for maximum visual impact. After flowering, allow foliage to die back naturally to ensure strong returns in subsequent seasons. Early-mid spring blooming makes 'Snipe' an excellent choice for extending seasonal color displays.
