Snowdrops Leaves Curling

Question

Snowdrops have grown happily in our lawn for years. This year, growth started normally but then the leaves started to curl and distort. Flowering, but looking very sickly. I’ve dug up some affected bulbs but can’t see any obvious pests or damage. Can I save them ?

Answer 1

Look for changes in the way they were watered, fertilized, or in weather events. Any of these can cause leaf curl. It may be that rainfall was short. They thrive in moist soil. Here are ideal growing tips:
