This time of year is truly one of my favourites! There is something so satisfying about getting to see the life come back to the outdoors! I don't know if I could ever live in a country where there isn't true seasons! Some of my favourite flowers happen in the spring and I wanted to share them with you along with some images of my front apple tree in full bloom this year. These are my 5 Favourite Early Spring Flowers with tips and details on how to get them to grow for you!

Enjoy!

Size: 8'H-6'W

Zones: 2

LILAC

There's no sweeter spring fragrance than the blooms of this cottage-garden favorite. Lilac varieties, one of the best flowers to plant in spring, come in all shapes and sizes, from dwarf shrubs to taller trees.

Spring flower tip: The lilac blooms on old wood, so hold off on pruning until right after the same year's flowering is finished.

Name: Syringa vulgaris

Growing conditions: Full sun and well-drained soil

Size:  Can grow up to 20 feet tall and wide

Zones: 4-8
