Kind of Flowers Grow in the Spring

Now is the time to determine what kind of flowers grow in the spring and to prepare your soil for them. Most spring bloomers are bulbs that need to be planted now in order to grow and by the time the snow melts we are more than ready to see their bright blossoms.

Most early spring bloomers are bulb type plants. The larger bulbs like Daffodils and Lilies are fairly well known and are often given as gifts for Valentines Day or Easter. The Amaryllis, a common Easter gift is one example. But they are not the only example of what kinds of flowers grow in the spring.

The Crocus for example is a delicate little bloom that is first seen in late February or early March. Her tiny little flower peeks out of the snow in shades of purple and white to remind us that warm weather is on the way. She is the first recognized kind of flower that grows in the spring. She isnt the first bloomer though, that would be the Snow Drop with her white bloom as she bids farewell to winter. Neither of these flowers is large but planted in large groups will make a fine display as you pace to your window and back again waiting for springtime.
