The 5 favorites for a bright spring garden

As soon as the first rays of sunshine arrive, many gardening enthusiasts start to itch: time to brighten up the garden! But which plants really provide color, bloom and atmosphere in spring? We list five of our most popular annual bloomers — all available directly in our seasonal store, fresh from our own greenhouse.

1. Geranium (Pelargonium)

A classic among bedding plants — and for good reason. Geraniums flower profusely, love sunshine and are easy to maintain. Available in a range of colors such as red, pink, white and purple.

Hint: Place them in pots or hanging containers near the front door for a warm welcome.

2. Petunia

Petunias are real mood makers. They bloom long and richly, are available in bright and pastel tones, and smell great. Perfect for hanging baskets, balcony boxes or as ground cover.

Our favorite: The 'Surfinia' variant that hangs gracefully over edges.

3. Verbena

With their airy blossoms, Verbena plants add a playful and graceful effect to your garden. They also attract bees and butterflies — beautiful and useful!

Hint: Combine purple verbena with white Lobelia for a fresh contrast.

4. Bacopa

Small, white or blue flowers that bloom for months and are undemanding. Bacopas look great in hanging baskets or as a filler between larger plants.

Plus point: They will continue to flower well into the summer.

5. Begonia

Begonias are ideal for slightly more shady areas. They come in striking colors and can flower for a surprisingly long time. You can choose between both standing and hanging variants.

Our tip: Place them under a tree or on the shady side of your patio for extra color.
