Spring Flowers for a Burst of Colour

Nothing welcomes the season quite like vibrant spring flowers. If you want to add some colourful displays, consider planting:

• Tulips – With a range of colours to choose from, tulips are the perfect way to add a bright patch to your garden.
• Daffodils – These classic spring bulbs can be planted in early spring if you missed autumn planting, but it’s always best to plant them sooner than later to enjoy them in full bloom during the Spring.
• Pansies and Violas – These hardy flowers thrive in cooler temperatures and add a pop of colour to beds and containers, so perfect for the chilly but sunny Spring days we enjoy in the UK.
• Primroses – Perfect for shady spots, primroses bloom early and brighten up any garden.
• Peonies – Though they take a little while to establish, peonies reward gardeners with stunning, fragrant blooms year after year. If you’re looking for something to enjoy for more than just one season, peonies are the perfect thing to plant.

Shrubs and Perennials are also great for Long-Term Beauty

If you’re looking for lasting impact, consider planting:

• Lavender – A fragrant, drought-tolerant plant that attracts pollinators.
• Hydrangeas – Large, stunning blooms that come in a range of colours.
• Roses – A garden favourite that thrives with proper care.
• Hostas – Excellent for shady areas and easy to maintain.

Making your garden your happy place is easier than you think with pops of colour to enjoy all season. Happy gardening!
