1. Daffodils (Narcissus): One of the most iconic spring flowers, often characterized by their bright yellow or white petals.
2. Crocuses: These small, cup-shaped flowers can pop up even through the snow, bringing early splashes of purple, yellow, and white to gardens.
3. Tulips: Depending on the climate, some tulips start making their appearance in March, particularly the early-blooming varieties.
4. Primroses (Primula): These colorful flowers often bloom in a variety of shades and are a favorite for early spring gardeners.
5. Snowdrops (Galanthus): Usually among the earliest bloomers, these delicate white flowers often start appearing in late winter and continue into March.
6. Forsythia: Known for its bright yellow flowers, this shrub blooms in early spring and is a sign that warmer weather is on its way.
7. Hellebores: Also known as Lenten roses, these hardy perennials start blooming late winter to early spring, offering shades of white, pink, purple, and green.
8. Hyacinths: Known for their strong fragrance and dense clusters of flowers, they bloom in various colors, including blue, purple, pink, and white.
