Planting your Spring Flowers

When it comes to planting your spring bulbs “the sky is the limit!” Personally, in my garden, I try to scatter everything everywhere so that there is some color and variety everywhere.

But you can choose to do patches of the same kind of flower or patches of a few different types together. OR you can even do color schemes! Mix and match to give your garden and home a sweet little mood and style if you want!

If you would like to keep your spring flowers blooming as long as possible, keep in mind the different blooming times for each particular variety you are choosing. I have always noticed that snowdrops, crocus, mini daffodils, hyacinth and bluebells are the first to pop up, so they will be your early springers. Whereas daffodils, mid-season tulips and double daffodils are your mid spring. And late tulips, Dutch iris, and alliums are your late spring bulbs.

Planting these different blooming times together will ensure that spot to have endless blooms all spring! And it is always best to plant your spring bulbs in the Fall because they will need the winter for their dormant period. The cold temperatures is what helps the bulbs flower come springtime.

Crocus

Crocus are the favorite of spring flowers in my books. They are adorable, and there are many varieties and colors to choose from. These are early spring bloomers, in my garden here, they are one of the first to show their pretty little faces.

Allium

Alliums are wild in looks, not much like any of the other spring flowers that you will find. They grow a long stem and have a ball of flowers on the end of it. They look like natures pom poms but can grow up to 36″ tall.

Hyacinth/Grape Hyacinth

Hyacinths are your mid spring bloomers, also one of your more fragrant flowers. I swear you can smell them a mile away. Grape Hyacinth, which is not really related to the hyacinth, but more confused with the bluebell flower, given its bell-shaped flowers. Have the same general care requirements.

Snowdrops

Snowdrops are one of your cutesy spring flowers and one that goes with all your fairy ideas. Snow drops are also your early spring bloomers, being one of the very first signs of life after the cold winter weather. They are generally planted in clumps and do better being planted with leaves still on them rather than starting fresh from the bulbs.

Daffodils

Aside from tulips and hyacinths, Daffodils are among your most popular and common of spring flowers. They can be divided easily, but you must wait til they are done flowering for the season so that you do not cause any damage to them.

BlueBells

There are a few different varieties of Blue Bells that you can find. Such as the English Bluebell, Virginia, and Spanish Bluebells. They are bulbs, like the tulips and daffodil.

Much like any other spring bulb, you will want to plant the bulb in clusters with the roots down in the dirt and the pointy end sticking straight up and have proper drainage for them.

No matter which spring flower you choose, they are sure to bring delightfulness to your garden!
