When the first breeze of spring is in the air one of the best things you can see is fresh blooming flowers with all of their bright and vibrant colors. Blue star amsonia and irises reach for the sun, while the bright pinks of dianthus can be found closer to the ground. If you tend a garden, then spring blooms are likely something you look forward to each year.
Thankfully, there are plenty of perennials — from bright black-eyed Susans to the pale purple of creeping phlox — that you can plant in the fall to ensure blooms for the spring. Whether you are a seasoned gardener looking for some new inspiration or are planting your first bulbs this year, Flower Works can help you decide what fall perennials will bring your spring blooms to life.
Why Plant in the Fall?
It may be surprising that fall can be the perfect time to plant some of your favorite flowers for spring since it’s usually the time of year when a lot of plants start to die off. However, fall can be ideal for planting spring perennials, especially if your soil retains heat well.
Planting flowers during early to mid fall gives them plenty of time to set up in the warm soil and grow a strong root system. Once spring arrives, the plants are well established, so they will be ready to produce bright, beautiful blooms. Not every spring bloom can survive the winter, though, so it is important to choose wisely.
Choosing Your Spring Blooms
There is a seemingly endless supply of plants and flowers that can brighten up your garden come spring, so it can feel impossible to choose. Here are four of our favorite perennials to get you started:

The winter months bring on a season of rest for your outdoor plants, but it is also a season of rest for your indoor plants as well. Even though indoor plants do not have to experience cold temperatures, snow, and frost, the conditions for growing plants are still affected. This means you’ll need to make changes in caring for your greenery to keep it healthy without making these common mistakes.
