Spring compositions with bulbous plants

However, if you want to grow the bulb plants yourself, remember that they still need to be planted in the fall and can be left outside in the winter. Only then will they bloom in spring!
Spring flowers look good both alone and in groups. Here's how you can plant a dozen hyacinths in a single container -for example in a wide balcony box. Choose just one of your favorite colors or create a multicolored arrangement of white, pink and purple flowers.
An interesting idea is a mix of different spring flowers, e.g. B. Hyacinths, daffodils and tulips in a balcony box or a wicker basket. Whether plants with flowers of the same color or in contrasting colors - the choice is up to you. The yellow daffodils look excellent in combination with blue grape hyacinths.

Bellis perennis, also called Thousand Beautiful and Massliebchen, blooms from March and shines with its play of colors. Whether in white, in various shades of pink or carmine red, the thousand beautiful looks particularly good in combination with daffodils, pansies and tulips.
Herbs provide even more fresh greens
Some impatient people dream of planting herbs on the balcony. Why not? From March onwards, herbs such as rosemary, thyme, basil, sage, lemon balm or hyssop can be preferred on the windowsill. These can be left outside from April.
We advise against placing purchased herbs (e.g. in supermarkets) in small pots on the balcony. For example, it's about basil, mint and coriander because they were grown in a warm greenhouse. In the fresh air, even a gust of wind will cause their leaves to curl up and dry.
Vegetable lovers can also look forward to the coming spring, because from March onwards chives and spring onions will also be allowed outside. There are also many types of lettuce that can be cultivated and harvested earlier.
