At The plant Farmer you will find a wide range of plants that will transform your garden into a colourful paradise in spring.

Why spring plants in your garden?

Spring plants are essential for bringing your garden to life early in the year. They often flower from March or April and provide a vibrant contrast to the fresh green of new leaves. In addition, many of these plants attract bees and other pollinators, which are important for the biodiversity in your garden.

Popular bloomers in the spring

• Tulips (Tulipa): With their vibrant colors and diverse shapes, tulips are a springtime must-have. Plant them in the fall and enjoy a colorful show in the spring.

• Daffodils (Narcissus): These cheerful yellow or white flowers are perfect for borders, lawns or pots. They flower early in the season and are easy to maintain.

• Crocuses (Crocus): One of the first bloomers of the season. Their small, colorful flowers bring color to your garden as early as February and March.

• Blue grape hyacinths (Muscari): These compact flowers with blue or purple hues are beautiful in borders, pots or among other flowering plants.

• Snowdrops (Galanthus): These delicate white flowers are one of the first signs of spring and bloom as early as February.

• Forsythia: A shrub that is covered in bright yellow flowers in March and April, perfect for brightening up your garden.

• Magnolia: This graceful tree or shrub with large, showy flowers is a real eye-catcher in any garden.

• Primula (Primula): A versatile plant available in many colours, ideal for borders and pots.

• Anemones (Anemone blanda): With their daisy-like flowers in shades of white, blue and pink, they add a playful accent to your garden.

Tips for a blooming spring garden

1. Plant in layers: Combine flower bulbs such as tulips and daffodils with perennials such as primroses and anemones for a lush look.

2. Provide diversity: Choose plants of different colors, heights and shapes to create a varied and interesting whole.

3. Plant in the Fall: Many spring plants, such as tulips and crocuses, must be planted in the fall to bloom in the spring.

4. Add shrubs: Shrubs like forsythia and magnolia add height and structure to your spring garden.

5. Create contrast: Combine early bloomers with evergreens for a nice contrast in texture and color.

Maintenance of spring plants

Spring plants are generally low maintenance, but with the right care they will stay in top condition:

• Water: Keep the soil moist during the growing season, especially when rainfall is scarce.

• Fertilization: Use an organic fertilizer in early spring to encourage growth and flowering.

• Remove faded flowers: This prevents plants from wasting energy on forming seeds and promotes longer flowering.

• Frost protection: Although many spring plants are frost-hardy, young buds can be damaged by late frosts. Protect them with fleece if necessary.
