Snowdrop Bulbs

Snowdrop Bulbs

We stock native snowdrop bulbs grown in a protected environment, lifted under strict control and guaranteed to be true to type. Heralded as the first sign of spring, snowdrops will flower even when there's frozen snow on the ground. An ideal location for planting snowdrops bulbs is in woodland areas but they create stunning additions to gardens as well. To ensure the highest quality we suggest using native stocks that have been grown in a protected environment.
