glory of the snow

Glory of the snow (Chionodoxa luciliae 'Alba') should be watered twice a week, using approximately 1 cup of water for each watering. Watering should take place in the morning so the plants can dry off during the day. It is important to avoid over-watering this plant, as it can cause rot and other diseases. Let the top 2-3 inches of soil dry out between watering. During the summer months, the plants may need to be watered more frequently, due to increased evaporation.

Glory of the snow (Chionodoxa luciliae 'Alba') does best with full sun for at least 4 hours per day. Ideally, they should receive 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day, preferably in the morning when the light is most intense. They can tolerate some shade and should be protected from the strongest afternoon sun.

Glory of the snow (Chionodoxa luciliae 'Alba') should be pruned in early spring of each year, after the chance of frost has passed. Pruning of these plants is necessary in order to promote healthy and vigorous growth. Pruning of these plants should involve removing any dead, damaged, or diseased branches and stems, as well as any overcrowded shoots. To control the plants size, any stems that make up the bulk of the plant can be cut back by 1/3. This process should be kept up every year to maintain the desired shape and size of the plant.
