Windflower (Anemone multifida)
🌿 Garden Unwind: Bloom of the Day
This delicate Windflower was grown from seed, making it feel extra special.

The finely cut foliage gives it a fern-like softness, while the cheerful purple blooms sway gently in the spring breeze — a reminder of how much beauty even tiny plants can bring.

Windflowers thrive in well-drained soil and love a bit of afternoon shade, especially in warmer climates.

🤍 Candytuft 'Snowcap' (Iberis sempervirens)
🌿 Garden Unwind: Bloom of the Day
Candytuft is like a late-spring snowfall — but in the best possible way.

This low-growing evergreen forms a crisp white carpet just as the garden starts waking up. 'Snowcap' is especially compact, making it perfect for edging paths, softening rock gardens, or pairing with spring bulbs like daffodils and hyacinths.

It loves full sun and well-drained soil, and once it’s established, it’s surprisingly drought-tolerant too.

Other Daffodils (Narcissus spp.)
🌿 Garden Unwind: Bloom of the Day
I don’t always know their names, but I always welcome their return. These daffodils are a cheerful mix from past seasons — some planted intentionally, some forgotten surprises.

Daffodils come in more shapes and shades than you might expect: doubles, split coronas, pastels, even pinks. If you’ve only grown the classic yellow trumpet, you might want to explore the variety they offer.

🤍 Arabis (Rock Cress)
🌿 Garden Unwind: Bloom of the Day
Arabis is one of those quietly dependable spring bloomers — forming tidy mats of foliage that spill gently over rocks or borders.

This white variety adds a clean, fresh touch to the early garden, and it’s especially lovely when planted near bulbs like muscari or hyacinths.

It prefers sun and well-drained soil, and once it’s happy, it tends to stick around year after year. A great low-growing choice for softening edges or tucking into crevices.

💜 Hyacinths (Hyacinthus orientalis)
🌿 Garden Unwind: Bloom of the Day
Hyacinths bring a burst of color and fragrance to the spring garden. Their dense flower spikes come in shades of purple, pink, white, and blue — and they smell as sweet as they look.

Plant the bulbs in fall and enjoy their return each spring with almost no fuss. They look lovely grouped in containers, tucked near a path, or paired with daffodils and muscari for a classic spring trio.

Bonus: deer tend to leave them alone.

What's your favorite color of hyacinth?

🌿 Leucojum aestivum (Summer Snowflake)
🌿 Garden Unwind: Bloom of the Day
These elegant, bell-shaped flowers may look like oversized snowdrops, but Leucojum blooms much later — often right alongside early daffodils.

Each stem holds a spray of pure white flowers, each petal tipped in green — and they sway gently in the spring breeze, bringing a soft, natural look to the garden.

They’re long-lived, deer-resistant, and tolerant of wet soils — making them a great pick for rain gardens, shady spots, or under deciduous trees.

Have you ever grown these graceful little bells?

🌼 Classic Yellow Daffodils (Narcissus spp.)
🌿 Garden Unwind: Bloom of the Day
Is it really spring until the golden daffodils arrive? These cheerful blooms light up the garden and return year after year with almost no effort.

Deer-resistant, long-lasting, and easy to naturalize, they’re one of the most reliable signs that winter is truly behind us.

Try pairing them with hellebores or Leucojum for a layered early-spring look — or plant them in clusters where they can shine all on their own.

💗💙 Pulmonaria ‘Spot On’
🌿 Garden Unwind: Bloom of the Day
Pulmonaria is one of the first perennials to bloom in early spring — and 'Spot On' is a standout with its clusters of pink buds that mature into bright blue flowers, often blooming side by side.

The spotted leaves stay beautiful all season, making this plant a double win for both flowers and foliage. It thrives in part shade, attracts early pollinators, and deer usually leave it alone.

Try planting it with hellebores, snowdrops, or miniature daffodils.

💙 Chionodoxa luciliae
🌿 Garden Unwind: Bloom of the Day
These starry blue flowers carpet the ground in early spring.

Also called Glory-of-the-Snow, they’re petite but powerful — naturalizing easily, feeding early pollinators, and popping up year after year with almost no effort.

Tuck them into lawns, under trees, or between stepping stones for a naturalized look. Plant the bulbs in fall and let them quietly do their thing.

Have you ever grown these little spring gems?

🌸 Hellebore (Helleborus spp.)
🌿 Garden Unwind: Bloom of the Day
Hellebores bloom in late winter, often right alongside early bulbs like Tête-à-Tête daffodils — and they make a lovely pair.

The soft, nodding hellebore blooms contrast beautifully with the bright cheer of mini daffs, and both are deer-resistant and thrive in part shade.

Once established, hellebores are low-maintenance and long-lived. Just cut back the old foliage in late winter to let the blooms shine.

Have you tried layering early bulbs with hellebores in your garden?
