After they have flowered and died back.
Now while they are still in flower
just as the flowers finish and they are still 'in the green'
pmsl ......................glad that's clear then
After the leaves have died back. Whilst the leaves are still there they are building up the bulbs for next year.

pretty good advice here


Craft Behave..
Snowdrops are one of the exceptions to the die back rule... they do not form clumps and spead if moved in a state of dormancy and they often flower once then disappear
I'll get my coat.
I've got crocuses in my garden.............and I didn't even plant any.
