Re: Epimediums

well, if some one can tell me the secret of getting snowdrops to come up , please do. I'll plant a few bags every other fall. So far - 3 plants.

BUT - I do have little drifts of crocus and Monica can tell you that I have lots and lots of daffodils. It's just too early for daffodils yet.

Oh, I hope so!  I've only had mine a couple of years, but I understand once
they are established, they are pretty durable.  Those early spring bulbs are
heartening, maybe you should put a few more in next fall.

 GRR! no sign of color except a few crocus and the lone snow drop! I
 wonder if the epimedium I planted last spring made it!
