This luxurious sea of colour stretches beyond the Temple of Bellona and towards King William's Temple through 20 April 2008 – it is one of Kew's most spectacular displays of the year. Visitors will also be able to stroll down the length of the Broad Walk bathed in the sunny glow of daffodils. The Broad Walk is one of the key features of Kew's Victorian landscape and provides a wonderful amble on a sunny spring day. Later in the season thousands of deep blue, starry flowered Chionodoxa siehei carpet the area surrounding White Peaks. These delicate alpine plants are known as Glory of the Snow in western Turkey as they emerge from the melting snow of the mountains.

Perfect timing, never miss the beautiful displays…

The best thing about spring at Kew is that visitors can time their trip to perfection by keeping an eye on our Bulb Watch map at www.kew.org . This map, and photographs of the spring plants, is regularly updated by garden staff working in the Gardens so you can be sure never to miss one of the stunning displays! You can listen to Kew's experts Annette Dalton, Kate Price and Tony Hall as they reveal the hidden stories of Kew's spring bulbs and how they were planted. There is also a beautifully scented hyacinth display that adds yet another dimension to the multiple climatic zones of the Princess of Wales Conservatory. Free guided walking tours depart daily from the Guide's desk, inside the Victoria Plaza, at 11am and 2pm, to give you an informative look at the highlights of the season.
