My snowdrops from North Green arrived yesterday (Monday).
For anyone new to snowdrop growing and buying bare-rooted snowdrop plants, its really important at this time of the season to get them rapidly planted in compost and water them thoroughly (every day or every other day) to prevent them drying out and delay the yellowing of the leaves as long as possible.
Thank you for the advice, extra care will be taken on what is probably going to be a cold weekend.
