Plan your bulb planting ahead of their season to enjoy a succession of colour all year. From late-winter snowdrops to spring daffodils and tulips, before the arrival of summer's cut flower favourites, such as alliums, lilies and long-flowering dahlias. Plus, there's always something to sow all year round, be it annual flowers or vegetable crops.
The native Galanthus nivalis snowdrops signal winter’s end with an understated elegance. They love to shelter in dappled shade at the base of trees and shrubs, but are equally at home in an alpine garden or naturalised in grass.
