Summer Snowflake Care
Summer snowflake grows well in fertile, loose soil that has regular moisture and is well-drained. It takes either full sun or part shade, but blooms best if it gets at least 6 hours of bright sunlight a day. Tolerant of a variety of soils, summer snowflake will adapt to dry soil and clay soil in most cases. Plant summer snowflake in fall in drifts of 15 to 20 or more bulbs set 4 to 6 inches deep and 4 to 6 inches apart. Water bulbs well after planting. After the springtime bloom, allow the foliage to remain until it withers and turns yellow. At that point, you can remove the foliage or allow it to decompose in place. During summer dormancy, bulbs tolerate dry soil but they thrive in cool and moist soil, so blanket the soil with a 2-inch-thick layer of mulch.
