Snowdrops (Galanthus Dry Bulbs )

Return of snowdrops

The Promise of Snowdrops – Supplied as Dry Bulbs

Delicate, enchanting, and among the very first signs of spring, Galanthus – more fondly known as snowdrops – have long captured the hearts of gardeners and collectors alike. At Avon Bulbs & Plants Ltd., we are delighted to offer these treasured blooms once more, now supplied in their dormant dry bulb form.

Traditionally offered 'in the green', our decision to provide snowdrops as dry bulbs aligns them with the way we supply the majority of our other bulb varieties — making for simpler handling, neater packaging, and ideal planting in autumn, when the bulbs are naturally at rest. While we do not currently have the growing facilities to cultivate large quantities as Chris and his team once did in Somerset, we are proud to continue offering a carefully curated selection of snowdrops for the discerning gardener.

Planting dry bulbs in autumn allows them time to root in and settle before the cold of winter, ensuring they emerge with quiet resilience in late winter – often when little else stirs in the garden. Whether naturalised beneath trees, nestled into the edge of borders, or grown in containers for close inspection, these modest white blooms bring with them a sense of timeless charm and seasonal renewal.
