Snowdrop Bulbs

"'Snowdrops are the first brave flowers to push through the winter chill, bringing delicate white beauty to your garden when little else is in bloom. These resilient little bulbs naturalise beautifully, creating breathtaking carpets of white year after year. Easy to grow and reliably hardy, they thrive in shady spots and woodland settings, making them an essential choice for early-season interest."
Peter McDermott, Head Gardener"

Growing Snowdrop Bulbs in Your Garden
There's something truly magical about Snowdrops. As the first sign that winter is fading, these elegant white blooms emerge through the frost, offering a welcome burst of life when the garden is still in its winter slumber. Their resilience, charm, and ability to naturalise effortlessly make them one of the most beloved early-flowering bulbs.

Why Grow Snowdrops?
Snowdrops (Galanthus) are renowned for their beauty and dependability. They require very little maintenance, thrive in a variety of settings, and once planted, will return each year in increasing numbers. Their ability to flourish in shaded areas under trees, along pathways, or in naturalised drifts makes them a versatile and valuable addition to any garden. Whether you�re looking to create a woodland-inspired retreat or simply bring some early cheer to your borders, snowdrops are the ideal choice.

Where to Plant Snowdrops
Snowdrops thrive in well-drained soil and are happiest in dappled shade, mimicking their natural woodland habitat. They are perfect for planting beneath deciduous trees, along pathways, in rock gardens, or even in containers. Because they flower so early, they work well alongside other spring bulbs like crocuses and daffodils for a continuous seasonal display.

How to Grow Snowdrop Bulbs
For best results, plant snowdrop bulbs in autumn, with each bulb around 5-7cm deep and spaced approximately 5cm apart. Once established, they require very little attention. Snowdrops prefer moist but well-drained soil and will happily naturalise, forming larger clumps over time. To encourage spreading, allow the foliage to die back naturally after flowering.
