I grow all my bulb collection in clay pots (1000+ pots) including over 100 pots of galanthus with the pots plunged in sand in either greenhouses or frames which are not heated. My lowest temperature was two years ago -9c.
I would love to grow them in the garden but that is waterlogged all winter and sodden most of the summer. Great for lots of plants but apart from Fritillaria meleagris not bulbs.

Tony,
My place is great for Fritillaria meleagris too but I can grow several species of Galanthus also. Is your climate wetter than mine?

Roland, it is always good to see the technical details of other people's garden solutions!

Hoy I do have some common galanthus planted in my front garden which is better drained. As to rain this year it rained every day from 30th March until now apart from six days.It was the same last year as well with weeks without sunshine. At the moment I am busy raising my sand plunge frames of the ground in an attempt to keep them drier.
