Outdoor plants in pots for Easter and early spring
Easter is the time of the first flowers and the perfect time to start enjoying life outdoors. Plant frost-resistant bulbs in spring pots and decorate with yellow daffodils and tulips.
The sun begins to warm, outdoor furniture is brought out, and frost-tolerant plants can be planted in pots. Bright colors and decorative bouquets are part of spring. Those with a green thumb have much to look forward to as Easter approaches.
Plants that thrive in spring light
Violas, ranunculus, primroses, perennials, and hyacinths are some examples of plants that are suitable for spring. They thrive well in a pot and bring life to the patio already during the Easter weekend. Remember that frost nights can occur even in May in many parts of the country. Be sure to bring in plants that are sensitive to cold if a frost night is forecast.
Bulb plants can be bought ready-made in pots in the spring if you didn't have time to plant flower bulbs in the fall. Daffodils, miniature daffodil Tête-à-Tête, grape hyacinth, crocus, spring iris, and tulips are all lovely in spring pots.
Violas are hardy spring flowers that tolerate temperatures down to five degrees below zero. They like to be in sun or partial shade and do not like to dry out.
Primroses are perfect for companion planting. Plant white primroses in a pot together with pink hyacinths and crocuses to fully welcome spring.
Ranunculus is also a spring flower, but thrives best between zero to fifteen degrees Celsius. Feel free to bring the pot in at night at lower temperatures. Thrives in moist soil and is placed in a bright spot.
Spring heather blooms from late winter to early spring and is beautiful in pots together with conifers or bulb flowers.
Perennials (Bellis) are a lovely spring flower with colorful, edible flowers.
Group planting – lovely combinations in early spring
As the warmth of the spring sun starts to make itself felt, it's tempting to refresh the pots by the entrance. Here are three plant combinations worth trying in your outdoor pots in early spring.
Daffodils and violas, the classic of all classics.
Perennials and violas are another mix that doesn't scream 'Easter' quite as loudly.
Ranunculus and primroses (the latter in the picture) create a real burst of color. This combination is best suited for warmer weather, as ranunculus and primroses don't tolerate cold temperatures in the same way as bulb flowers, violas, and perennials.
Plan for late spring and summer
In addition to planting frost-resistant spring favorites in pots and decorating with Easter flowers, spring is a perfect time to repot houseplants and plan the awakening of the flower beds. Sow vegetables and summer flowers and plan for the arrival of warmth to get a head start on the upcoming flowering season.
