Spring is just around the corner, and what better way to welcome it than to plant some flowers in your garden? Although Swans Trail Farms concentrates on crops such as u-pick strawberries, u-pick apples and a pumpkin patch, we still love the color of beautiful flowers in early spring. If you're living in the Pacific Northwest, March is the perfect time to start planting. As the winter frost starts to melt away, the temperature begins to warm up, bringing with it the perfect conditions for flowers to blossom. In this blog post, we will share with you some of the most beautiful flower varieties that you can plant outside during the beginning of March in the Pacific Northwest region.
Daffodils
These bright and vibrant spring flowers are a must-have in your garden. Not only are they easy to grow, but they also come in a variety of colors, including yellow, white, orange, and pink. They bloom in early spring and are known to be one of the earliest signs of spring in the Pacific Northwest. To plant daffodils, make sure you plant them in a well-draining soil and a spot where they can receive full sun to partial shade.
Pansies
Pansies are another delightful flower variety that can be planted in early March. They come in a variety of colors, including purple, yellow, orange, blue, and more. Pansies are known for their charming "faces" and are perfect for adding a pop of color to your garden. They love full sun but can also handle partial shade, making them an easy addition to any garden.
Tulips
Tulips are the ultimate sign of spring, and their beauty can be appreciated by all ages. They come in a range of colors, from white to pink, red, and yellow, and are the perfect addition to any garden. To grow tulips, plant them in a well-draining soil and in a spot that receives full sun to partial shade.
Crocuses
Crocuses are one of the earliest flowering bulbs in the Pacific Northwest. They usually bloom in late winter or early spring and are available in a variety of colors, including purple, yellow, white, and more. They prefer full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil. Despite their tiny size, they can have a big impact on your garden!
Hyacinths
These spring-flowering bulbs produce a lovely fragrance and come in shades of blue, purple, pink, and white. Hyacinths usually bloom in mid-March and are perfect for planting outside. Make sure to plant them in well-draining soil and provide them with partial shade to full sun.
