After a long, cold, Winter, March has finally arrived! Spring is the season of renewal, warmth, and rebirth. Birdsong sounds a little sweeter, days become lighter, buds appear on plants and flowers start to bloom again. And nothing captures Spring's essence better than it's flowers. As winter fades and gardens burst into bloom, as a florist, I love to work with this season's flowers. So, whether you’re looking for the perfect bouquet or simply want to know more, here are some of the most beloved spring flowers, what makes them special and a Florists guide to the seasons best blooms.
My Favourite Spring Flowers and Their Meanings
Tulips – The Quintessential Spring Bloom
One of the most recognisable Spring flowers, Tulips come in a variety of colors, each carrying its own meaning. Red Tulips symbolise love, yellow represents cheerful thoughts, and purple signifies royalty. These elegant flowers are perfect for bouquets, table arrangements, or even potted gifts.
Daffodils – A Sign of New Beginnings
Daffodils are among the first flowers to bloom in Spring, often seen as a symbol of renewal and new opportunities. Their bright yellow petals remind us of the sunshine, bring warmth and joy, making them a wonderful choice for welcoming the season.
Hyacinths – Fragrant and Full of Charm
Known for their intoxicating scent, Hyacinths come in shades of blue, pink, purple, and white. They represent sincerity and playfulness, making them an excellent choice for gifts or to freshen up any space. I love to use pink or blue hyacinths to celebrate new born babies during Spring.
Cherry Blossoms – A Delicate Beauty
Although not typically used in floral arrangements, Cherry Blossoms are an iconic Springtime bloom. These soft pink or white flowers only last a few weeks and symbolise the fleeting nature of life, and are often associated with renewal and beauty.
Peonies – Lush and Romantic
Peonies are highly sought after in spring for their full, fluffy petals and sweet fragrance. They symbolize prosperity, romance, and good fortune, making them a favorite for wedding bouquets and arrangements.
Lilacs – A Sweet Reminder of Spring’s Arrival
Lilacs bloom early in the season, filling the air with their unmistakable fragrance. They represent first love and youthful innocence, and their delicate clusters of purple or white flowers add a lovely touch to any floral arrangement.
How to Care for Spring Flowers
To keep your Spring blooms fresh and vibrant, follow these simple care tips:
Trim the Stems: Cut flower stems at an angle before placing them in water to help with hydration.
Change the Water Regularly: Fresh, clean water extends the life of your flowers.
Keep Them Cool: Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent wilting.
Use Flower Food: Adding a floral preservative can help your flowers last longer.
Celebrate Spring with Flowers
Spring flowers bring joy, color, and life to any space, making them perfect for gifting or brightening your home. Whether you choose a bouquet of Tulips, a fragrant bunch of Lilacs, or a cheerful vase of Daffodils, each bloom tells a story of renewal and beauty.
