Not a sight you see every day: snowdrops among the autumn leaves 🍂 But is it too early? Not for this variety it isn’t 🌱

There’s always great excitement at Anglesey Abbey at the sight of the first snowdrop, and this year the Turkish species, galanthus peshmenii, has appeared just as it always does, flowering in September and October.

In the specialist collection at Anglesey Abbey, there are over 500 varieties of snowdrop. Some of the earliest include the Greek species, galanthus reginae-olgae (Queen Olga’s snowdrop), as well as galanthus ‘Autumn Beauty’ and galanthus elwesii ‘Rainbow Farm Early’.

Who knew the snowdrop season had already begun? 2027 tour dates coming soon😍
