What flowers bloom in March in Missouri?
Daffodils, Hyacinth, and Tulips Daffodils (Narcissus), hyacinth (Hyacinthus), and tulips (Tulipa) often signify the beginning of the spring season, blooming throughout the month of March.

Tulips can be kept in the soil all year round to reflower the following year, but you may find they don’t put on as much of a display, and may be shorter and have smaller flowers than previously. To prevent this, it’s important to ensure as much energy as possible from the leaves is returned to the bulbs.Annuals & Perennials Plant daffodils and other spring bulbs by mid to late October. Tulips can be planted until the ground freezes.Many gardeners treat tulips as annuals, discarding the bulbs after blooming but with a little care and attention, you can get your tulips to bloom again the following season.The Tulips season kicks off in March with the miniature varieties making their debut. Mid-season varieties, such as the Darwin Hybrids and the Triumph Tulips, will flower in April. The finale is from late April to May and is delivered by late-blooming varieties, such as Lily Flowered Tulips and Parrot Tulips.
