There’s something magical about spring—the scent of fresh soil, the hum of new life, and the promise of color after the quiet of winter. For gardeners, it’s the season of anticipation and reward. Whether you’re refreshing your beds or planting anew, spring is the perfect time to fill your garden with flowers that thrive in mild temperatures and longer days.
At Heirloom Boulevard, we believe each bloom tells a story—a quiet reminder that beauty begins with care, patience, and a handful of good earth. Here are five flowers to plant in spring that will bring joy to your garden and home all season long.
1. Daffodils
A timeless spring favorite, daffodils are among the first to bloom, signaling the true start of the season. Their golden trumpets and cheerful faces make them irresistible both in the garden and in vases indoors.
Why we love them: Daffodils symbolize renewal and hope—perfect for gifting or brightening a front entry.
Planting tip: Plant bulbs in well-drained soil and full sun. For naturalized beauty, scatter bulbs in clusters rather than rows.

2. Tulips
Elegant and full of charm, tulips bring vibrant color to any spring landscape. From classic reds and yellows to soft pastels, they offer endless variety for garden beds and cutting gardens alike.
Why we love them: Few flowers capture spring’s sophistication quite like tulips—simple, graceful, and endlessly giftable.
Planting tip: Plant bulbs in the fall for early blooms or potted varieties in early spring for instant color.

3. Peonies
Lush, romantic, and deeply fragrant, peonies are the crown jewels of the spring garden. Their full blooms and long stems make them a floral designer’s dream.
Why we love them: A single peony stem can transform a bouquet or table setting—timeless and elegant in every way.
Planting tip: Plant peony roots in a sunny location with rich, well-drained soil. They may take a year or two to establish but will reward you for decades.

4. Ranunculus
With layers of delicate, tissue-like petals, ranunculus add refined texture and color to spring arrangements. They bloom profusely in cooler weather and make excellent cut flowers.
Why we love them: Their sculptural beauty makes them a favorite for spring weddings and gifts alike.
Planting tip: Soak ranunculus corms overnight before planting in full sun. Keep soil moist but not soggy.

Known for their vivid centers and bold hues, anemones bloom early and pair beautifully with tulips and ranunculus.
Why we love them: They add a touch of whimsy and movement to spring bouquets—perfect for a fresh-cut look.
