What are good companion plants for Chionodoxa?
The following early flowering perennials also are great companion plants for Chionodoxa: Primula (Primrose), Pulmonaria (Lungwort), Pulsatilla (Pasque flowers), Hepatica (Liverwort), Arabis (Wall-rock cress), Aubrieta (Rock cress) and Helleborus (Christmas or Lenten Rose). Chionodoxa, also known as Glory of the Snow, are small spring-flowering bulbs that appear in clusters. I plant thousands of these every autumn, and they multiply more and more every spring.
How often should you water Chionodoxa?
Spring bulbs need plenty of water once you can see them – especially those in pots. Once they’ve finished flowering, don’t scrimp on the watering; bulbs need watering for at least six weeks after they finish flowering until the leaves die down and they go dormant. Typically, early blooming spring bulbs will return each year without much work, which makes them a great addition to any garden. Over time, however, the bulbs can multiply, with smaller bulbs growing as offshoots from the main bulb.
