I have planted snowdrops and hope to ‘force’ them to flower at xmas. Can this be done? If so, I have put them in a dark cool place but wonder if I should water/feed them, and also, when should I bring them into the warmth/light in order to have them flower for xmas.I have also planted baublets from my lillies (they were vey beautiful and healthy this summer) and potted them in a mix of compost and grit. I have also put a layer of grit on top of pots. Where shuld I store them – light/dark, should I water/feed them over winter? when shuld I plant them out? after frost? Thanks Harriet

Snowdrops can be brought into flower early in pots, but they must have had enough cold outdoors first. The bulbs can be kept in a cold place outdoors and brought into a greenhouse in October. If the cold period was not adequate, they will not respond, or do so only slowly.
