I have a couple of Snowbanks that have never bloomed. They are two years old, very showy leaves, but the old leaves tend to drop as new ...Read Moreones appear and they often get brown in the white margins. These are very slow growing. I'm a bit disappointed, would love to see some flowers.
I have a half dozen various other Brugs that start flowering in June and go all summer long. I over-winter mine in the basement (cold Ohio winters), cut them down to a couple feet tall, no light, very little water. I bring them out in May after the danger of frost is past. They seem to like morning sun, lots of water and fertilizer. Hundreds of flowers on each plant into the fall. I recommend Maya if you want a varigated leaf Brug. It is my earliest bloomer, with wonderful flowers that start out white, then turn yellow, then a beautiful apricot. They are very long lasting blooms. Delicate and very fragrant.
If anyone has luck getting Snowbank to bloom outdoors, please share your secrets!

I found my Snowbank in a local shop, it was in the shade, and I thought how silly. This Brug stands out in my garden from all the rest wi...Read Moreth it's beautiful leaves. It doesn't even need to be blooming to have all my visitors asking me what it is and admiring it. It is a slow grower, and a month after owning it, all the leaves started to yellow and drop. It always had leaves on it, but small little baby one's. I just recently moved it to a new location where it's not in full sun anymore, and only gets 2-3 hours of morning sun. It made all the difference. It's not dropping leaves anymore, and the leaves are now growing to their full size.
I'm hoping that it will start flowering like it had in the beginning with 50 plus blooms at one time on a small tree.
