The familiar common name, Autumn Snowflake, reflects the delicate white flowers and its unusual flowering season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'September Snow' is a selected white-flowered form. Slender stems emerge towards the end of summer and carry small, hanging, conical flowers that seem to float above the ground. Their simplicity is part of their appeal, particularly when several bulbs have established into a colony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAutumn Flowers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile many small bulbs flower during spring, 'September Snow' provides its display during \u003cstrong\u003eSeptember and October\u003c\/strong\u003e. This makes it particularly useful for extending seasonal interest in rock gardens and alpine plantings after many summer plants have finished flowering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe flowers appear on stems only around 10cm tall, so plant them somewhere they will not be hidden by vigorous neighbouring plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere to Plant September Snow\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChoose a position in \u003cstrong\u003efull sun with excellent drainage\u003c\/strong\u003e. Light partial shade is also suitable, but an open, bright site generally encourages good growth and flowering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRock gardens, raised beds, scree gardens and alpine troughs provide ideal conditions because excess water can drain away easily. The compact habit also makes this bulb an excellent choice for smaller gardens and container collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Plant the Bulbs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlant the bulbs in well-drained soil during their dormant period. A planting depth of approximately \u003cstrong\u003e5-8cm\u003c\/strong\u003e is suitable, with bulbs spaced around 5-10cm apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn heavier soils, incorporate horticultural grit into the planting area to improve drainage.
