I haven’t seen any. Have seen the first sign of snowdrops though

CheeseWisely · 12/01/2026 18:18

Yes they had some in Waitrose near us last week!

Rufus27 · 12/01/2026 18:18

Yes,in our local Tesco last week

yeesh · 12/01/2026 18:19

Ocado are selling them

PoppySaidYesIKnow · 12/01/2026 18:20

They we’re in Aldi on Saturday - I bought two bunches.

Owlmoonstar · 12/01/2026 18:21

Surely the ones in supermarkets are force grown?

IHopeYouStepOnALegPiece · 12/01/2026 18:24

Oh fab, thanks all.

I'm not in the UK but want to get some to my mum (who is) so didn't want to send friend on a wild goose chase!

Our M and S has them - and new season tulips too!

Crunchymum · 12/01/2026 18:58

I got some in M&S on 2nd January!! Felt very early but I adore a daff.

ThatWasMyLastFatFreeFrush · 12/01/2026 18:59

Sainsbury's and Asda have them! I've seen a few peeking up in gardens.

Yep christmas decorations down on January 3rd and vase of daffodils out on 4th.

NetballHoop · 12/01/2026 19:01

We have one that has opened in our garden (Surrey). I think it was just confused though.

TTCbabynumber22025 · 12/01/2026 19:03

I got some from M and S last week! Love daffodils

boulevardofbrokendreamss · 12/01/2026 19:11

M&S is full of them. One has flowered in my garden and the rest are almost ready. Feels way too early.

MrsPringledusts · 12/01/2026 19:16

I have two bunches from Aldi and one from M&S. There are a few in flower in a sheltered spot in a local cemetary, and they flower every December

BettyTurpinPies · 12/01/2026 19:17

I saw some real ones today growing by the roadside. Not fully opened.

BenoitBlancsFedora · 12/01/2026 19:19

Saw some in Sainsburys on Boxing Day! My local Waitrose doesn't have them yet.

RosesAndHellebores · 12/01/2026 19:22

Cut daffs have been in my local Waitrose, M&S and Sainsbury. I have two little bunches in glorious flower. £2 well spent.

No buds in the garden are visible. Snowdrops are about to break into flower and the camellias are thick with buds.

The Hellebores are going strong.

Surrey.

This is all excellent, thank you!

I swear they come earlier every year

They make January seem a little brighter. We had a visitor years ago who bought me 10 bunches 😀

ultracynic · 12/01/2026 23:18

Yes, our M&S has them, they just make life sunnier so I’ll be buying a couple of bunches every week.

PeopleTheyAintNoGood · 12/01/2026 23:20

These just cost me £2 from Lidl. Two bunches.

Are daffodils out yet?
xxlostxx · 12/01/2026 23:23

Ooh love daffs. Getting a few bunches tomorrow. And a hessian basket of hyacinths 🪻 I eyed in morrisons yesterday

DinoLil · 13/01/2026 00:56

Ive seen loads in bloom on grass verges since mid December. Bit mad! I'm in the SE.

mondaytosunday · 13/01/2026 01:59

Earliest I saw one last year was January 24 on the Isle of Wight. But shops are selling them - I have a bunch by my kitchen sink.
