Better known as the snowdrop, the Galanthus has been voted ‘Flower Bulb of the Year 2025’. These small, white flowers are one of the first heralds of spring and are easy to maintain and propagate every year. Be enchanted by the snowdrop’s delicate charm!
And whilst their season is now over, it is never too early to plan for next year’s crop!
Why choose snowdrops?
- A hardy, early bloomer snowdrops are the first signs of spring in the garden, often appearing before the last snow has melted. They are hardy and can thrive in cold temperatures
- Snowdrops are easy to maintain. Just plant the bulbs in a partially-shady or shady spot in autumn (September-December) and let nature do the rest. They are also great propagators, so you get more snowdrops every year
- Whether you have a large garden or a cosy balcony, snowdrops will fit everywhere. Plant them in pots, borders or among perennials. They combine especially well with other early bloomers such as crocuses (Crocus) and winter aconites (Eranthis)
- Snowdrops are not just beautiful but also useful. They are one of the first sources of food for bees and other insects in early spring. So plant snowdrops and contribute to healthy biodiversity
