What are the best spring flowering plants?
Spring bedding plants are chosen for their ability to deliver reliable colour early in the year, often when little else is flowering. Popular choices include pansies and violas for long-lasting displays, primroses and polyanthus for bold blocks of colour, and wallflowers for fragrance and height in borders. MAJOR TYPES OF SPRING-BLOOMING BULBS Tulips, narcissus, and hyacinths are by far the most commonly used bulbs in the spring landscape. It’s not an exaggeration to say that they are the star attractions in the spring garden. TULIP – Few sights are more glorious in the springtime than a mass planting of tulips.Summary: Spring gardens wake up with bulbs (crocus, snowdrops, daffodils, tulips, hyacinths, muscari), early perennials (primroses, lungwort, bleeding heart), shrubs (forsythia, lilac), and late-spring bridges (alliums, poppies, peonies). Mix bloom times for color from late winter through early summer.
