Snowdrops going blind

Primrose

I have several clumps of snowdrops planted under low hanging evergreen shrubs that have all come up “blind” this year for the first time.
I wonder if the amount of shade has suddenly proved too much and weakened them.

If I dig them up and replant them in a sunnier splot while still in the green, can I expect them to start flowering again next Spring ?

If the snowdrops are under an evergreen hedge then it may be that the bulbs didn't get enough moisture over the summer; I'd move them as you have suggested. Also I always bury my bulbs quite deep.

They should be fine again next year if you re-plant them. Personally I'd let them complete their cycle this spring, then lift them.

They may be overcrowded and need splitting up. It is best to move snowdrops 'in the blind' which is immediately after flowering, while the leaves are green.

I would split them up now. Replant where the ground will not dry out during the summer months.
