Water: Water snow crocus 'Romance' regularly in spring and fall, providing 12 mm (0.5 in) weekly during growth. Water if winter is dry and avoid excess to prevent rot. Keep planting beds moist in fall, and water after planting to support corm hair development.

Fertilize: To enhance stigma and petal size, fertilize snow crocus 'Romance' twice: in fall for root development and early spring for leaf growth. Use a slow-release NPK (5:10:5) fertilizer at 1 pound per 45-50 m², ensuring no direct contact with corms to prevent rot.

Pruning: Snow crocus 'Romance' features vibrant yellow blooms in early spring and requires minimal pruning. Deadheading extends its flowering period, while trimming yellowed foliage rejuvenates the bulb. Pruning from early to late spring promotes healthy growth and reduces disease risks, enhancing snow crocus 'Romance''s resilience and appearance.

Propagation: After harvesting stigma threads from snow crocus 'Romance', allow the leaves to wither, leaving corms in the soil. Corms can multiply through vegetative growth. Store newly harvested corms in a cool, dark, well-ventilated place for up to 4 years, avoiding sunlight and high temperatures.
