Spring’s among my favorite time of year; I’ve been snow bound for months, and love the longer days and warmer temperatures, plus I know that some of my favorite spring bulbs are going to be showing their colors. Yay! In case you’re just thinking bulbs for spring, let me give you a short list of other things you just might want to try:
- Shrubs – Quince (awesome red), forsythia (I go wild for that cheery yellow), Japanese witch hazel (scented and cool flowers), lilac, ornamental cherry and apricot, magnolia
- Perennials – Columbines, bleeding hearts, Welsh poppy, primrose, trillium
- Bulbs (of course) – Wood anemone, crocus, crown imperial, narcissus
Hi Lisa! Nice to see you back ….
Great choice of spring interest plants. My lilac and columbines are starting to leaf out. Yay! After all the rough weather this winter, I wasn’t sure what would happen with them. (I want a forsythia!!)
Now, if only I can figure out how to make bulbs work for me ….
Happy Spring!
