The Ultimate Snowdrop Sale will take place at Myddelton House Gardens in Enfield on January 31.
It is one of the most popular events of its kind in London, attracting visitors from across the country.
Julia Bigham, head gardener at Myddelton House Gardens, said: “This sought-after event continues to grow in popularity and we can’t wait to welcome visitors for what promises to be a fantastic sale in 2026.
“Whether you’re a seasoned collector hunting for the rarest bulbs, a newcomer looking to introduce these charming flowers into your garden or just browsing, you’ll be captivated by the unique beauty of these very special plants.
“Head into the wider gardens and you’ll spot our own collection of snowdrops and a host of interesting early spring flowers dotted throughout the eight acres.”
The sale is a highlight for horticulturists and galanthophiles, offering the chance to see and purchase a wide variety of snowdrops, including rare and unusual types.
Snowdrops bloom as early as January or February and are treasured for signalling the arrival of spring.
Varieties differ in height, shape, and colour, with prices starting at around £5 per bulb.
Rare specimens can sell for hundreds, or even thousands, of pounds.
Admission to the snowdrop sale is £6.50 per person, payable on the door.
A lecture taking place on the same day costs £7 and requires advance booking.

The gardens themselves are filled with unique and historic features.
Visitors can explore exotic plants, a Victorian glasshouse, and artefacts such as a 360-million-year-old fossilised tree trunk and stone pillars from the medieval London Bridge.
The Bowles Tea Room will open at 8.30am, serving hot drinks, bacon rolls, and light lunches throughout the event.
Myddelton House Gardens is accessible by train, bus, or car, though parking charges do apply.
The site received its tenth annual London in Bloom Gold Award in 2025 and also holds both the Green Flag Award and Green Heritage Site Award.
