Tulips 

Tulips are a spring icon, there prized for their vast array of colors. Easily grown in borders or containers, many gardeners consider tulips a staple flower that they anxiously await each year. These flowers will look beautiful when they remerge in the Spring. 

Hyacinths 

Hyacinths are very similar tulips coming in a variety of colors from bright pink to soft blue. The Victorians praised hyacinths for their sweet, lingering fragrance. If you can wait for Spring to see these flowers there are easy bulbs for forcing in container gardens or being made to flower indoors during the winter. And then can be transferred into your outside garden for Spring.   

Snowdrops

The snowdrops are little white bells that bloom in early spring. They used to be considered bad luck because it always seemed to grow in graveyards. Nowadays, this delicate flower is the first one to wake up during the start of Spring. Along with Hyacinths these are great for window boxes.
