One of my New Year's resolutions is to look after my garden more. And what better way to start than with the best things to plant in January? Because my yard needs a pop of color, and I think we can ignore the bright pink, plastic playhouse that's currently on my deck. Unfortunately, that will be there throughout 2026, but I'm not sure it will be as easy on the eye as these beautiful blooms.
These flowers ought to bring some brightness to early spring, and with some needing attention up to 12 weeks before the last frost, you can get started now. Others require no preparation — just dig them out and sow them into the ground at the first signs of spring.
