Fun Spring Flower Facts

This year, the vernal equinox and the first day of spring lands on March 19th. The flowers don’t know what day of the month it is, but they do know when it’s time for them to grow and bloom because they can sense the longer days and warmer temperatures.

In the U.S., we celebrate the start of spring on the equinox, but other countries base the schedule of seasons on the lunar calendar. In Japan, people take their seasonal cues from the flowers, waiting to officially recognize the start of spring until their national flowers, cherry blossoms, are in bloom.

When Do Flowers Bloom in Spring? 

The first flowers of the year don’t actually wait for spring to arrive, even in cold climates. Crocuses, snowdrops, and Lenten roses push their way through the snow and frost to bloom as early as the end of January.

Other early spring bloomers tend to blossom toward the end of March and beginning of April. These include tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, pansies, and irises. Late spring bloomers like lilacs, peonies, daisies, and roses don’t show their colors until May and June.
