Acoma Iris
This flower was introduced to the world in 1987. Naturalists were intrigued at the quaintness of the petals and the strength of the stem. Women often believed this flower stood for everything a woman should be. The attractive color of this flower makes it the perfect flower for any springtime garden.
The Acoma iris comes in many different colors, shapes, and sizes. A beautiful aspect of this flower is its distinct shape and blooming size. The petals of this flower are separated by standards (petals that stand upright) and fall (downward-facing petals). Iris flowers attract a ton of bees, so be sure to plant this flower away from sidewalks. The iris has a long-lasting life, so be ready to continue caring for them until the first frost of fall.
BlueStar
The bluestar comes in calming shades of a lovely pale blue; they only tend to grow 2 feet to 3 feet tall. Bluestars bloom in clusters of around 10 flowers with a width of 1 inch in size. This flower is an attractive option to put along the side of any landscape or even walkway.
Bluestars typically don’t bloom until about mid-spring to late spring. The foliage of powder blue flowers can last all through summer till the beginning of fall. Grab some of these flowers and let them be the star of your garden.
Daffodil
If you’re looking to add natural sunshine to your garden, try looking at a flower such as the daffodil. This flower also comes in multiple sizes and shapes like the iris. Sometimes you can find them in colors like pink and purple, but the most common color is a bright lemon yellow. The uniqueness of the daffodil comes with its trumpet-like shaped center.
The daffodil is an excellent option to plant between borders or even to fill up space in your garden. The best design to associate the daffodil with is the woodland garden landscape; likewise, they add the perfect tone to any garden.
Double Rock Rose
Even though this is a smaller flower, the double rock rose is a fast-growing plant ready to add some charm to your garden. The double rock rose only grows up to 30 centimeters tall, standing no higher than your knees! The leaves of this flower are more significant than the bloom but are very thick and quite fleshy. The double rock rose is most suitable for rock and woodland gardens. The stems of the rose can maneuver around objects like thick mulch and rocks, allowing the flower the ability to live in less ideal areas.
Double rock roses come in colors such as baby pink and soft red tones. The plant requires excellent drainage and a mild amount of sun. An exceptional quality about this flower is that they can last through the most of winter. So, they might still be blooming when the other flowers have wilted away.
Lilac
Lilacs are a great option when considering adding some purple flowers to your garden. Notably, they feature a single purple flower with a sleek white line along the edge. The flower usually ranges from a soft pink to a deep purple, but the most common color is a pale lavender purple. Some varieties can appear to have petals of soft yellows and creamy shades of white. Lilacs are a shrub flower that loves the shade. If you are looking to add some great aromas to your garden, consider adding lilacs to the landscape.
This flower is also a dominant breed and tends to overrun smaller flowers. Be sure not to place them near less aggressive plants.
Pansy
Pansy flowers have a large bloom head, and they are the flower with a “face.” The pansies are both spring and fall flowers. This plant can survive in many kinds of climates but prefer maximum sunshine with little heat. Pansies have a unique shape to their petals. The petals tend to look like upside-down hearts. The leaves come in many different patterns and color shades, as well. It may seem strange, but the pansy flower colors tend to get brighter after a morning frost. The stems become leggy if the weather is too humid. The pansy flower is an excellent addition to small gardens needing a focal point.
Summary
These spring flowers are the best to plant in your garden this year. The weather has recently been unstable, so when moving through the seasons, make sure you are well armed with everything you need to ensure a successful garden. Most people don’t tend to consider the weather as a factor when choosing plants for their garden. If you are looking to add some great aromas, think about getting flowers like lilacs and irises. They give off soft yet delightful scents sure for anyone to love. If you have allergies, an excellent option for your garden is daffodils because the pollen is trapped within their trumpet-shaped center.
