Spring-flowering bulbs
Spring-flowering bulbs look fantastic wherever you plant them, whether in containers, borders, under trees or naturalised in drifts in lawns. In borders they’ll have died down before the full summer display of perennials gets going. Remember to leave them for about six weeks after they finish flowering before you dig them up.

Trees for spring blossom
Spring blossom is one of the highlights of the gardening year. Even in the smallest of gardens there are a trees that will put on a fantastic show.
Spring-flowering shrubs
Spring is also a great time for flowering shrubs, especially if you have acid soil as camellias, magnolias, and rhododendrons are at their best. Berberis, forsythia, and viburnums are just some of the many others that are at their colourful peak. Some have wonderfully scented flowers that fill the whole garden with perfume on a still day.
