Spring Flower Ideas – General Information, Planting and Care
General Information: Hyacinthus is a small genus of bulbous flowering plants in the family Asparagaceae, These perennials are commonly called Hyacinths. The genus is native to the eastern Mediterranean (from south Turkey to northern Israel), north-east Iran, and Turkmenistan. Several species of Brodiea, Scilla, and other plants that were formerly classified in the lily family and have flower clusters born along the stalk also have common names with hyacinth in them. Hyacinths should also not be confused with the grape hyacinths.

Crocus
General Information: Crocuses can push through the snow to put on a show of colorful revival. If you are not planting this perennial bulb, you are missing an early season of delight. From snow crocuses (the first to bloom) to giant Dutch crocuses, all just 2 to 4 inches tall, these blooms offer a variety in color (pinks, reds, oranges, yellows, purples, blues, and more) that stand out against the bleak late-winter landscape. Many have strong perfumes that lure bees out of their hives in February or March.
Small bulbs like crocus not only provide winter garden color, but they naturalize, meaning that they spread and come back year after year—with minimum care—for an ever-larger display. As a bonus, deer, squirrels, and rabbits rarely bother early little bulbs.
