🌼Bloomers of Early Spring

2025-03-26

Ken Lain Here, The Mountain Gardener! Spring's arrival paints our mountain landscapes with vibrant hues. Right now, you'll see forsythia's sun-kissed yellow and the striking pink blooms of ornamental plums – a true spectacle before the leaves emerge. Remember, these early bloomers are often ornamental, not fruit-producing. If you’re craving homegrown plums, look for varieties like Elephant Heart or Santa Rosa, which bloom a bit later. Notice the redbuds and lilacs popping up, too!
