As the new season arrives, many will be thinking about their annual spring clean. It’s time to organize and tidy while looking forward to lighter days, and what better way to finish off the declutter than with a beautiful bunch of flowers?
Nothing marks the end of winter like a lovely spring bloom, and a stunning bouquet on the dining table will brighten up the space, but which ones should you choose? From Daffodils to Ranunculous, here are some of the best choices.
7 spring flowers to decorate your home
We spoke to Elizabeth Daniels, a florist at Blackberry Mountain, a five-star resort spanning 5,200 acres in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, who told The Focus the best flowers to decorate your home this spring.
1. Daffodils
First up are Daffodils, the most famous spring flower. Their bright yellow heads scream happiness and are bound to put a smile on everyone’s face.
“A true sign of new beginnings and hope for the spring,” Daniels said. “A simple bundle will cheer up any space and they smell wonderful!”
2. Blooming Branches
If you fancy going for something a little different, Blooming Branches could be a lovely choice, like cherry, dogwood, quince or witch hazel.
A large arrangement of fresh blooming branches “adds a dramatic pop of color” while keeping things simple and elegant.
3. Anemones
Another great option are Anemones, perennial spring blooms which come in many colors from white to purple.
“With their dramatic eyes that are often a much darker shade from the bloom, they are perfect for any table setting.”
4. Tulips
Tulips are one of the most classic spring flowers and are always a crowd-pleaser with their “large, showy and bright” petals.
“A simple bundle will add an elegant touch to any space” – and there are so many shades to choose from to suit your home.
5. Wood Hyacinth
Another rarer choice is Wood Hyacinth, better known as Spanish Bluebells, which has a longer and less compacted bloom than other hyacinths.
Its beautiful blue coloring will have all your visitors gasping, and Daniels says: “You just can’t go wrong with these beauties”.
6. Hellebores
Hellebores are stunning pink, purple or white flowers which are always one of the first to bloom in late winter and early spring.
Their dainty heads and unique green centres make a great addition to any arrangement, and will look beautiful in your home.
7. Ranunculus
Finally, a great option is Ranunculus, particularly the Butterfly kind which has seven to twelve flowers per stem and many more leaves.
“These spring blooms are said to symbolize charm and attraction, who can argue, there are so many beautiful colors and variations of this amazing flower.”
