The very first spring flowers awaken the garden to life. Snowdrops, crocuses, and grape hyacinths spread out in carpets of colour and light, marking the start of the season long before tulips and daffodils take over. These early signs of spring are soon joined by anemones and fritillaries, adding a natural charm to borders and beneath trees. As spring turns to early summer, the grand ornamental bulbs step in – with alliums rising like sculptural globes above the greenery. Together, they create a rhythm of flowering that stretches the season from the first days of spring to the early summer.
