In writing this I acknowledge, at least temporarily and for the purposes of this message, that there could be two different snowdrops. Galanthus reginae-olgae does fine outside here, flowering and building up slowly. I have several accessions of Galanthus peshmenii that have been in pots for the past few years because I heard that it might be more tender than G. r-o. Is there any basis to this purported lack of hardiness or am I safe planting them outside? I also have several pots of Scilla vincentina - it does just fine but I'd love to get it into the garden. Is it likely to survive here? I don't mind burned leaves as long as it flowers OK.
