Longing for a burst of colour during the winter months? These spring-flowering beauties will brighten your spirits and add a touch of cheer to your pots and borders. Let the anticipation of spring begin!
Seven plants for instant spring colour
Wallflowers
These beauties offer a vibrant palette of colors from warm oranges and reds to cheerful pinks and yellows. Enjoy their long-lasting spring blooms and delightful fragrance by planting them near entrances. Regular deadheading will encourage continuous flowering.
Primulas
From classic pale yellow wild primroses to a rainbow of vibrant hues, primulas are quintessential harbingers of spring. Their cheerful colors thrive in pots and at the front of borders, especially in lightly shaded areas. As perennials, they can be transplanted to your beds after blooming, returning year after year.
Polyanthus
Close relatives of primulas, polyanthus boast larger, more abundant blooms on longer stems. Their vibrant colors add a cheerful touch to pots and brighten up shady corners.
Bellis Daisies
These cheerful pompom-like flowers are perfect for filling gaps in borders and adding a splash of color to pots and window boxes. They thrive in both sunny and lightly shaded locations.
Violas
A riot of color! Violas create low-growing mounds of foliage adorned with flowers in an endless array of combinations. Regular deadheading ensures continuous blooms throughout the spring season.
Potted Spring Bulbs
If you missed the fall planting window, don't despair! Pre-planted pots of hyacinths, daffodils, snowdrops, and tulips offer a convenient way to enjoy spring blooms. Once planted, these bulbs will return year after year.
Heuchera
Don't overlook the power of foliage! Heucheras boast a stunning array of leaf colors, from silvery-purple to fiery red, adding instant vibrancy to pots and borders. Their delicate sprays of pink, red, or white flowers in summer are a beloved treat for pollinators.
