Snowdrops (Galanthus nivalis) are among the first flowers of the year, sometimes appearing even through snow. Their early bloom is possible because their bulbs store nutrients that fuel growth long before spring warmth arrives. Though they don’t rely heavily on pollinators, bees may still visit on warm winter days — a small but welcome boost for early insects. Have you seen one yet?

🪴The first snowdrop of the season, Galanthus reginae-olgae ‘Queen Olga’s Snowdrop’, is now on display in the Alpine House here at RHS Harlow Carr. Lauren, our Specialist Student in Alpines and Streamside, explains how these delicate blooms, along with over 250 other varieties in the collection, bring a touch of early spring to the garden. Flowering until March, they’re a sight not to be missed. Come see them for yourself and get inspiration for your own garden. #Snowdrops #RHSHarlowCarr #Alpine
