Early spring bulb displays are important features at many National Trust (UK) properties. Many have early openings, beginning in February, to show off displays of snowdrops, aconites, crocuses and daffodils. Observing these displays shows gardeners new species and cultivar to try in their own gardens. Observation also helps gardeners to discover the microclimates which allow these displays to be spectacular. Dates for special displays depend upon weather so call individual properties for open dates and times.
