What are the best flowers to plant for spring?
Sunsatia®™ plus anona
Sunsatia®™ are the ideal varieties for the beginning of the season. Resistant to bad weather and temperature fluctuations, they maintain a stable performance from the beginning of the season to summer with a very rich flowering. Ideal for trays, balconies and flower beds.
Waikiki pink
This new carnation will add an elegant touch of bright magenta to containers and flower beds. Although happy in any situation, it will perform best in semi-shade!
Excellent flower performance
Fancy a white flower, but with excellent flower performance? Our favourite is one of our most-awarded varieties, Snow Princess is covered in a mass of small snow-white, honey-scented flowers. It flowers all summer and performs well in hot temperatures. It grows vigorously and can spread up to a metre. Suitable for balconies, bowls, flower beds and baskets, it looks gorgeous on its own and absolutely fantastic combined with other plants.
What are the best flowering shrubs for spring?
Yuki cherry blossom®
This deutzia shows off a springtime coat of lovely pink flowers, while in autumn its leaves turn burgundy. Although perfect for spring ground cover, it will equally make an eye-catching specimen in containers, on its own or with other small shrubs.
Mango storm®
True to its name, this exuberant, thornless quince will brighten up your garden with a spectacular display of large, soft-orange double flowers in early spring and again in early summer. It’s easy to maintain and its branches are also great for cut flowers.
Revontuli® mound
A real innovation in the world of perennial dwarf chokeberries, Revontuli has a unique, compact habit. Its white flower panicles blossom in spring, while in autumn its foliage turns bright red. A real sight all year round!

Key qualities for spring flowers and plants
Hardiness
Spring plants need to be able to withstand the changing weather conditions and temperature swings that come with the season.
Low maintenance
Choosing low-maintenance plants in spring will help you to ease into the more labour-intensive gardening season.
Early blooming
It’s best to choose plants that flower early in the season, adding a splash of colour to your garden while the other plants still lie dormant.
