Plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water very often. Keep in mind when planting that Chinese Snow is thought of as half hardy, so it will need protecting in periods of cold weather. Try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 5.5 and 6.5 as Chinese Snow likes to be in weakly acidic soil.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Chinese Snow about 35 days before your last frost date.
