· Violets: These flowers are closely related to pansies and,
as a result, prefer cool seasons. Violets are generally slightly
smaller than pansy blooms, but they can be just as beautiful.
But as with pansies, violets will start to fade when the heat
arrives.
· Crocus: Crocus plants are relatively small, only reaching
three to six inches in height. However, their grass-like leaves
are some of the first sprouts that can be seen among bulb
and corm plantings. Preferring full to partial sun, these gold,
purple, lavender, white, or yellow flowers can be enjoyed
during the earliest days of spring.
· Daffodil: Daffodil bulbs produce cheerful, yellow flowers
in early spring. They’re one of the most recognizable flowers
thanks to their familiar shape and fragrant aroma.
· Lenten rose: Hellebores, also called the Lenten rose or
Christmas rose, can tolerate light frosts. These blooms get
their name from the time of year when they bloom, which is
typically around the Christian Lenten season. Despite their
name, these delicate flowers are not actually related to ros-
es, however.
Early-blooming flowers give winter-weary gardeners hope
that spring has arrived.
