About this plant
This delightful, woodland plant, native throughout northwestern Europe, in spring covers the ground with masses of little, starry, white flowers and soft green foliage. The flowers open wide during the day but close at night and droop their graceful heads. In the garden, try them under deciduous trees, where the ground will be shaded in summer, but in the winter months will be light and moist.

Water during drought
Water plants in the ground regularly after a period of drought if still in growth (prefer to be dry when dormant). Check plants in pots more frequently, especially in hot weather.

Feed a general fertiliser
Where plants have moderate needs for nutrients, they can simply be given a general feed, fairly early in the growth season so that the growth has plenty of time to harden off before the cold weather.
Give plants a general boost with the application of a general purpose fertiliser which is spread around the root area of the plant, with amounts as directed on the feed label.
