Spring Flowers and spring flowering plants

Much a sought after relief from the cold winter garden, spring flowering plants include Trees, Shrubs, Perennials, and Annuals. We bring you a list of our best spring flowering plants for the UK garden. The Primrose is traditionally the first flower of spring, followed by Violets and Pasqueflower.

At the end of a long winter gardeners are always excited by the first spring flowers. Some of the first to flower in spring are Galanthus however plants such as Azalea Mollis, Daphne and Primroses all have excellent spring flowers.

Erythronium, Epimediums, Anemones, Trillium and Omphalodes all provide excellent spring flowers. When looking at flowering seasons and the garden the idea is to have a succession of flowering plants backed by foliage plants that will carry the visual impact through from spring to winter. A flower and some foliage plants for every season is the ideal.
