Celebration of Snowdrops
Come and see the snowdrops at RHS Garden Rosemoor this February, when the garden is full of early spring flowers.
Join one of our horticulturists for a free guided walk at noon each day to find out more about Rosemoor’s snowdrops and other early-flowering bulbs. Alternatively, explore the garden at your own pace and follow our family trail to find some of the best displays.
Snowdrops are a highlight of the Winter Garden and woodland borders, where they continue down towards the Lake. Look out for drifts of
Galanthus ‘Atkinsii’ alongside the colourful winter stems of dogwoods and willows, including
Cornus alba ‘Sibirica’ and
Salix alba ‘Britzensis’. The collection includes some less common varieties too, including
Galanthus ‘Snow Fox’, with its green markings on the outer petals, and several Greatorex doubles. You may also spot the greater snowdrop,
Galanthus elwesii, growing among
Cyclamen coum and hellebores.
Plenty of other early flowers are worth spotting.
Narcissus ‘Rijnveld’s Early Sensation’ is one of the first daffodils to flower in the Cottage Garden. In contrast, the hoop petticoat daffodil,
Narcissus bulbocodium, appears in the meadow in Lady Anne’s Arboretum.
Snowdrop walks
Free guided walks take place every day at noon; places are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. You can also follow the family trail and explore the snowdrops in your own time.
