Every gardener makes a list of spring flowers during thedark days of winter, and looks forward eagerly to the first
burst of spring color. Spring arrives at different timesdepending on where you live, but the sequence of blooms issimilar in most places. With that in mind, watch for thesefavorites in your own garden or in the garden next door:
PANSY -- Pansies are one of the earliest flowering plants,blooming right alongside the spring bulbs.
SNOWDROP ANEMONE-- Snowdrop anemone is a perennial plant flowering in
spring, native to meadows and dry deciduous woodlands
LILAC--Lilacs bloom for only a very brief couple of weeks in thespring. To prolong their presence in your yard, grow a
variety of Lilacs, including, early, mid and late varieties.
'Grand Maitre' Crocus--Blooming towards early spring, these cupped petals open just enoughto reveal the splendid yellow of the stamen creating a striking accent.
BLUESTAR--These flowers bloom vigorously, forming a dense mound of dark green leaves that turn a brilliant
yellow in the fall. Vivid dark lavender flowers appear in early spring for a wonderful show.
DAFFODIL--Their flowers come in a range of colors like yellowand white and havecontrasting cups of orange or pink and a variety of shapes and sizes.

of a hot, sunny border.
