Description

Chionodoxa forbesii 'Pink Giant' is a charming spring-flowering bulb with star-shaped pink blooms. Reaching a height of 10–15 cm (4–6 inches), it flowers from March to April, bringing soft colour to the early spring garden. Ideal for both sheltered and exposed locations, the bulbs should be planted 5 cm (2 inches) deep and spaced 5 cm (2 inches) apart for the best display. Supplied in a 6/+ bulb size, 'Pink Giant' promises a vibrant and colourful spring display year after year.

Plant Chionodoxa bulbs in autumn (September–December) in a sunny to partially shaded spot with well-draining soil. Dig a hole 2 to 3 times the height of the bulb (roughly 5–8 cm deep) and place it with the pointed tip facing up. Space bulbs 5 to 10 cm apart, since Chionodoxa bulbs are quite small. Cover with soil and water lightly. In early spring (February–March), enjoy the delicate blue, white, or pink star-shaped flowers!

    FAQ - About Chionodoxia

    Chionodoxa bulbs are best planted in autumn, between September and December, before the first frost sets in. This gives the bulbs enough time to form roots before winter begins.

    As a rule of thumb, plant the bulbs at a depth of about two to three times their own height. Also allow sufficient spacing between the bulbs, usually 5 to 10 cm, since Chionodoxa bulbs are quite small.

    Chionodoxa grows best in a sunny to partially shaded location. It likes well-draining soil and thrives less well in shady, damp conditions.

    Chionodoxa are hardy, perennial bulbs. Provided they are planted in the right spot and the bulbs don't rot from excess moisture, they will return year after year and often naturalize and spread on their own, forming charming carpets of flowers over time.
