- Plant your spring flowers and make sure to fill in well with soil between the plants.
- Water abundantly and set the jar out.

Create a beautiful spring flower arrangement
How should your spring flowers be arranged? You can create a harmonious planting with spring flowers in the same color shades, but you can also try combining flowers in contrasting colors that emphasize each other.
The plant pot itself is also important for the overall impression. A classic terracotta pot gives one expression, while it e.g. is something completely different with a zinc tub. Look in your stash and see what jars, pots and tubs you have lying around.
Decorate your interplanting with branches from the garden. Feel free to use both stones and bark to fill up between the flowers. For Easter, you can also decorate with Easter eggs.
Spring flowers and care advice
There are many beautiful spring flowers for the garden. Here are our seasonal favourites.
Daffodils
It is a true harbinger of spring, which with its yellow color is particularly beautiful at Easter. Daffodils are very hardy and can withstand both freezing temperatures and snow.
Care: Place the jar in a cool place and avoid direct sunlight. Water gently around the bulbs, being careful not to overwater.
Pearl hyacinth
The scent of pearl hyacinth is a true harbinger of spring. The pearl hyacinth's beautiful blue flowers make it a natural choice for a place in your garden.
Care: Plant it in a sunny place and water often.
Crocus
Crocuses are one of the first flowers to appear, even if there is still snow.
Care: Water the crocus sparingly and place the plant in a cool place.
Primula
Primulas are available in many color combinations and always provide a wonderful splash of color among the other flowers.
Care: Plant the flower in a sunny place, and water every other day so that the soil is always moist.
Daisies
Daisy is a pretty little flower that is available in white with different shades of red and pink. The yellow center of the flower glows with the sun on the most beautiful spring days.
Care: Daisies thrive best in well-drained soil. Feel free to give it a weak fertilizer mixture with each watering. Divide the plants as needed.
Pansies
They look fragile, but like daffodils, they can withstand night frosts. It is one of our most popular spring flowers and you can even get them in many different colors and shapes.
Care: It is important that your pansies do not dry out. You should therefore plant them in a larger pot/jar, where the soil does not dry out so easily. Regularly remove wilted flowers, as this helps to extend the flowering period.
