What is the best potting compost for growing snowdrops in containers?
Loam-based John Innes no.1 compost is ideal, but must never be allowed to dry out even when the snowdrop leaves have died down. Keep the pots in dappled shade at all times so that the compost and bulbs do not get too hot or they will fail to produce flowers. Some gardeners cover the compost with a layer of gravel to keep the compost cooler.
