Water: Water your snow crocus 'Gipsy Girl' regularly in spring and fall, and during winter if there's no snow. It requires minimal watering in summer dormancy. Water immediately after planting to support corm development, ideally weekly (12 mm) during growth, ensuring beds remain moist in fall.

Fertilize: Snow crocus 'Gipsy Girl' benefits from fertilization twice—once in fall for root development and once in early spring for leaf growth. Use a slow-release NPK (5:10:5) fertilizer, mixing 1 pound in 45-50 m² of soil, avoiding direct contact with corms to prevent rot.

Pruning: Snow crocus 'Gipsy Girl' showcases brilliant yellow and orange flowers and requires minimal pruning, best done in early spring post-flowering. Remove spent blooms and yellow leaves to enhance health. Regular debris clearance helps prevent disease, promoting vibrant blooms and a beautiful garden feature.

Propagation: After collecting stigma threads from snow crocus 'Gipsy Girl', corms remain in the soil and can produce baby corms through vegetative growth. Newly harvested corms can be stored for up to 4 years in a cool, dark, and ventilated space, away from sunlight and high temperatures.
