Snowdrops
5 Answers
4 years ago I planted 100's of snowdrop bulbs on my parents grave. Not a single one appeared, next year I dug up and transplanted well established plants, and lo and behold only a few appeared. The next year I massed the plot with large clumps of well established plants and again, - hardly anything. ?
Looking around, I notice snowdrops flourish under trees and not as much out in the open. Could this be this reason for my failures as of course the grave plots are out in the open ?

The reason for snowdrops is that my father tended the churchyard for 25 years and did indeed split and plant thousands of snowdrops there and there is a nice display every year. I thought it would be nice to mass his grave with them in recognition, but doesn't seem to be working. The area is certainly not dry as suggested, quite the reverse if anything.
Maybe, one year when they are established they will surprise us all as I know they can be temperamental
