What better way to celebrate the arrival of warmer weather than to grow masses of spring-flowering plants in your backyard? After the quiet months of winter, their bright colors, wildlife-friendly benefits, and in some cases, their delicate scent can bring new life to an outdoor space – and there are plenty to choose from.
Spring flowers can be enjoyed no matter the size of your plot, and as global temperatures are increasing, many of these can even be seen emerging in late winter, heralding the changing seasons. Some are ideal for cheerful containers on a deck, patio, or even a window sill, while others make excellent additions to spring garden ideas and seasonal flower beds. Most make wonderful cut flowers too, to bring that sense of sunshine indoors.
