Malcolm, if there is ANY bulb material left I would try to give it a clean and keep it in vermiculite
I've been to so many gardens where people say "I dont have them" or "I've never seen one" and within minutes I see them
Are snowdrop bulbs too small to survive the hot water treatment meted out to daffodils?
SteveDo you wait until the plant has finished flowering before you replant in the lattice pot, or is it a rolling programme?

Even a snowdrop that is doing less well than it did last year might be included in that category. I strongly suspect that once the weather warms up a bit the snowdrop pathogens will out-perform the snowdrop and kill it, whereas in colder weather the snowdrop may be able to outperform the pathogen and you might be able to rescue it.

...When I get the bulbs out the damage is usually more severe than the foliage would lead one to suspect.
