End with the dreary "winter garden"! With these exceptionally beautiful early bloomers you bring color into the perennial bed and already in February.
I tell you as it is: I don't feel like winter anymore. The gray in gray outside, makes me ready. Not only the sky, my garden also looks really sad and that strengthens my winter blues.
As a countermeasure, I bought a lot of early bloomers in the garden center, which are supposed to ensure splashes of color in the gray. Quasi a flourishing mood.
While all the world has daffodils and ordinary hyacinths in the garden, there are some extraordinary early bloomers that hardly anyone knows - but transform your bed into a fantastic flower paradise.
Here are five rather unknown but beautiful early bloomers who really do a lot in the still wintry garden.
1. Snow gloss or star hyaciyell
The name already says it: snow ganz (or star hyacinth) makes even the grayest winter days shine. Its blue, star -shaped flowers will be shown as early as February.
Sterngloss is a beautiful early bloomer that makes ground cover-like in the perennial bed. And the best thing about the pretty winter beauty: the plant increases all by itself! Perfect for everyone who wants to have little work with your garden.
Tipp:Plant snow gloss in larger groups at a sunny location with rather sandy, permeable soil. In spring, a dense blue flower carpet forms.
2. Transylvanian liver flow
The liver flowers domestic-but its relative from Transylvania has even larger and intense colored blue-violet flowers. As early as February, it will conjure up rushed splashes of color in shady garden areas. Perfect for everyone who love natural forest garden vibes.
Leather flowers love partially shaded to shady places and feel most comfortable under deciduous trees or in natural beds.

3. Hohler Lerchensporn
A little later, but all the nicer, the hollow lerch spur blooms, a local plant that is the perfect line -up for a natural garden.
Lark spur sounds unspectacular at first, but this early bloomer surprises with a color palette from white to violet to tender pink. He loves shady locations, grows super under trees and forms dense flower carpets over time. With him you bring fairytale flair into your early bloomer garden.
4. Spring light flower
Never heard of the spring light flower? Then it's time! This rare onion plant looks similar to a crocus, but is botanically related to the autumn timeless.
Their purple and purple filigree flowers appear depending on the weather at the end of February and early March. Place the light flower in a sunny, permeable soil - there it feels most comfortable.
As beautiful as the rather unknown early bloomers are, they have a catch: snails love!

5. Preliminary spring alpine violet
So far, you only know alpine violets as a houseplant? Then it is high time that the early spring alpine violet moves into your garden as early bloomers. The beautiful plant defies the cold and blooms with its delicate pink to purple flowers from January. There is decorative, heart -shaped leaves that also give the bed structure according to the flower.
Like early spring alpine violets Shady places and humus -rich earth - ideal under deciduous trees.
When do you best plant early bloomers?
Most early bloomers are onion plants that are placed in the earth in autumn (September to November) so that they drive out in time in spring. But don't worry if you missed that!
You can also plant many early bloomers in late winter or early spring - especially if you find them as early potted plants in the garden trade. Make sure you choose a frost -free day for the planting campaign so that you can loosen the floor well if you use the early bloomers.
By the way: If you are currently hinging up your apartment with early bloomers such as hyacinths or daffodils, you can also plant them in the garden as soon as they have faded.
