Planting Instructions
Full sun or partial shade. Well-drained soil that is not too dry. If left undisturbed, the bulbs may seed themselves about, eventually forming a thick lavender-blue carpet in spring. Chionodoxa can be naturalized in a lawn if you’re willing to hold off on mowing until the seed is dispersed and the foliage begins to yellow.
Spring-flowering bulbs must be planted in the fall. They need cool soil to make roots before the onset of winter. Cool fall weather arrives at different times from north to south and from high elevations to low.
Please note that the temperature of the soil lags behind the air temperature. You can generally plant later than the windows provided in this map. As long as the ground is not frozen, you can still plant.
