Spring Blooms For Your Garden
After a long winter that is full of snow, ice, and cold many gardens look depressing. Luckily, spring is here and that means that beautiful flowers will soon be in bloom. In order to prepare a garden for spring there are many things that need to be done, including the selection of new plants. Here are a few spring flowers that can add a little bit of beauty to any garden.

The Miniature Snowflake needs regular watering, at least once a week, and full sun. It can grow up to 3 feet or 4 feet tall and wide, which means it is a plant that requires plenty of space. The flowers from this shrub are wonderful to cut for arrangements as well as for landscaping. It attracts both butterflies and hummingbirds, and features pristine white flowers. Mock orange shrubs are best
placed along fence lines or as a boundary shrub.

Also, there are plenty of different kinds of tulips, so there is one for every garden no matter the desired style. Tulips come in a variety of colours as well, truly they can be found in almost any variation. The tulip enjoys partial or full sun and blooms in the spring when planted in the fall.Â
Puschkinia. The puschkinia, also known as the striped squill, features unique, delicate striped flowers in white or blue with white stripes. The blooms are star shaped and very fragrant. Tall stalks make these perfect to grow in contrast with lower growing plants. and can grow to be 8 inches tall and 6 inches wide. The puschkinia enjoys full sun or partial sun, along with moist soil.
