About this video:
Are you looking to extend your bloom show by having lots of early blooms in spring? Here are 15 spring blooming perennials that aren't bulbs that are sure to bring on the color in your garden earlier in the season. Thanks for watching - Steph (Gardening in Massachusetts zone 6b) #gardening #spring #perennials #plants
Hi Garden friends! Hope you enjoyed this video. Tell me, do you have a favorite from this list? and are you planning on adding any of these these plants this season? When most people think of spring they think of blooming bulbs like daffodils & tulips. I wanted to compose a list of other beautiful plants that will give you spring color if planting bulbs isn't your thing. Can you tell I'm getting really excited for spring? hope you are too! Its almost here friends! Thanks for watching - Steph 🌱
Are Bearded Iris poisonous? I just bought a few roots and they are just so beautiful
Your garden/yard/home is so beautiful! I loved how you showed the plants in various stages of growth & seasons. There aren't many posts that show these various stages of growth. It's so helpful - especially because each stage is shown in your garden in its actual location & not stock photos. I really enjoyed watching this - it was very helpful & inspiring. Thank you for being so generous! Take care & happy spring! Afellow 6b (now 7a 🤔) gardner. 🤗🙋♀️
❤❤
Thank you so very much for your kind words Linda! I really appreciate it. It video took me a really long time to put together and edit this video, gathering all my footage etc. It makes me so happy to read that you noticed this was mostly all footage from my garden💚 Yes, my zone 6b has also changed to a 7a. But I'm still going to garden as if I'm in a 6 since our weather here in Massachusetts varies so much and we can experience pretty quick and drastic temp changes. 30 days until spring! Thank you so much for watching, an for your comment. Have a great week! 🥰
I love how you give the best information on each flower variety. You encourage me to go out and plant, plant. Plant. Thanks for all the great info.
You are so welcome, Janice! Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching.
Me too, gives zones, light & soil requirements, plus whether deer resistant. So helpful!
Perennial geraniums are also one of my early bloomers, ( MA zone 6), . I have a magenta mounding variety, a taller pale pink variety and of course Rozanne blue which I can't get enough of. I'm looking forward to adding the Geum you mentioned to my garden. Thanks Steph!
Ohh that's another great one Pam! Thanks for sharing. Geum is beautiful! 🌱
Hooked and Rooted videos never disappoint. Thank You for all the great information. 😊
Hi Linda! You are so welcome. Thank you so much for your kind words, and for watching.
Great list. I planted Salvia last season and was impressed with it. Cat mint did good too. I love Peonies but have not been successful yet anyway. Maybe a video on growing them with tips on the best way to grow them. 😊
Actually, I did decide while watching that I now have a perfect place for Baptisia in an area that is getting a refresh this year! I think it will be perfect! Excellent video Steph.
Hi Teresa, oh how fun! I really love baptisia foliage to add into cut flower arrangements. Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Thanks for your videos. You do such a great job of explaining plants and where to plant them.😊
Hi Linda, thank you so much 🥰
I know this is way persnickety, but thank you for pronouncing "foliage" correctly. So many on UA-cam do not. 😅
LOL, this is a huge pet peeve of mine :_)
Great list friend!!!! I loved it. It was cool to see some surprises like Polemonium and Amsonia and Geum 🧡💙💜
Here in SoCal 9b I grow a salvia variety called Mystic Blue Spires. It blooms from June until Dec. I cut it back and it comes back thicker and more vibrant from year to year.
Hi Monica! I've heard great things about the Mystic Blue Spires salvia. Salvia is such a great work horse perennial in the garden 🌱💚
Love your beautiful hellebores, I have many in my garden will bloom in 2 weeks. I can't wait to see them.
They are so beautiful! 🌸
Hello, Steph 👋🏼 9:10 I live in MA, too and I’ve never heard of this plant! How exciting for me!😂👏🏻👏🏻Thank you, for the introduction!
Hi Julia! Welcome to the channel "neighbor" 🥰
I have been under the weather since Wednesday and our yard is covered in snow at the moment so this was such a reward to see these beautiful flowers and your beautiful landscape. Can't wait till spring :)) Thanks Steph for bringing a smile to my face :))
Hi Jackie, thank you so much for your kinds words. I hope you feel better real soon! This has been a tough winter for colds. But spring is almost upon us friend!
I love the way you describe each plant/flower and all the info you give on planting & taking care of the plants.
Peonies and irises are what I consider “ my grandma” plants and I love them!
I’ve been wanting to add some geums to a demonstration garden I volunteer in, so thanks! I’ll try them.
Love your videos and your garden. Keep ‘em coming!
Dreaming of spring 😴🌷🪻 It’s currently a snowstorm here in Buffalo, NY
I've been winter sowing to scratch that garden itch 😂
Gosh, another great video . Thanks for giving so much great information on how we can have something blooming in her garden all the time. I do try to do the same thing in my garden. I always have something blooming the different types of the year. I can go out and shoot a video every week. Thanks so much for giving me more things to look for and try to put in my garden. Thank you so much my dear friend for all the great tips. And thanks also for sharing your beautiful garden with
Hi Sandy, Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Isn't it so great to have something beautiful to look at blooming all season long? Love it! Thanks for watching🌱
I think this was my favorite video you’ve done. So helpful! I’m a new gardener in 5b/6a and have a few of these plants (iris, nepeta, salvia) but I’d love to add geum, which is new to me. Please make this a series on plants that you’d recommend for each growing season!
Hi Jenn, Thank you so much!! Glad you enjoyed it. Geum is gorgeous, I am certain you would love it. Such a beautiful plant 🌱
We added Doronicum orientale Little Leo in some of our spaces to have flowers that bloom really really early in the spring ---- whether these flowers actually bloom with the tulips I will let you know. These flowers are not huge (but the species, the flowers are larger), and not some gorgeous peachy pink --- but what I do appreciate is its shade tolerance, its early and long bloom time and its semi-evergreen foliage. BTW What we love about amsonia (like String Theory), is that it can be leveraged like a grass, in terms of its wispiness in wind, and that after its stunning fall foliage fades, like a grass it lasts in the garden in terms of structure -- at least through early winter....
I added many Iris last year after seeing how lovely yours grew. Reminded me that my great grandma’s garden was always full of Iris. Thank you for that inspiration! This year I’m trying cat’s pajamas! I’ve always grown, with much success, salvia. I can not wait to see what our 2024 gardens bring💕
I love this 💚 I hope you enjoy your iris as much as I do. Thank you so much for watching.
Bret JOB. We recently had 10 Tamarack trees pulled out, so I can’t wait to put many of your suggestions along back fence.
A blank slate and fresh start is always fun! Happy Gardening Kat! 🌱
Great list of plants Steph! I added amsonia to my garden last year and I can't wait to see them in bloom this year!
Hi Mary! So far I'm really enjoying it, and just this fall moved the one I showed in my vegetable garden, out to my pollinator bed by the birdbath. Can't wait to see it in bloom this spring. Hope you can add one to your garden this spring. Have a great week!
Wow Stef . I love all these beautiful plants in your garden they are stunning in spring . I will look for geum avens . In addition to these plants also i have Matthiola incana , lilium candedum ,roses mandivella , afrecan daisy , dianthus , snapdragons geranium , azalia , Jasmine , kerria japonica , rosa banksiae and others .....and they are so pretty in spring . Have agreat day .🌻🌺🌻
Beautiful selections you have Lina! Thank you so much for watching 🌱
Great info! Some of these plants are completely new to me. I cant wait to get out in the garden again!
Beautiful video! Lots of great information. I will be watching it again. Thanks, Steph!
Thank you so much Mary! 🌱
I would add Lychnis chalcedonica, comes in red, rose, and white flowers.
Thank you so much for the suggestions!
The baptisia foliage is my winter-Hardy dupe for eucalyptus😝 they look sooo gorgeous in bouquet
Hi Steph, I always enjoy your videos. I have learned a lot from you. Best, Albert, SF, CA
Thanks for watching!
Great choices. I like that they can grow in a wide range of planting zones. I plan to put some of these in my garden. Thanks for the tutorial.
Spring is popping in your yard. Those daffodils are doing the thing
My garden is new so, I do not have a lot planted. I like the perennials in this video and would like to include many of them in addition to the 18 peonies, irises I planted last year. I’m sure I will be referring to this video often for more ideas.
18 Peonies & Iris! Wonderful. That is going to be beautiful!!🥰
Thanks Stef! My favorite time of year. I’ll be adding a few from your list.
I love this video Steph. Thanks for sharing all the great suggestions. I am trying to add Amsonia to my garden this season. It really is the perfect all-season plant.
Hi Sue! Thank you so much for watching!! Amsonia is so pretty! and that fall color on the hubrichtii variety is so gorgeous.
I love them all and have several on your list. I bought a chocolate brown Baptisia at Home Depot last year - it was beautiful but when I planted it - it deteriorated quickly - I really don't know why. It wasn't the spot - it was full sun, but maybe too much sun - the foliage got straggly and it just didn't look good.. I have one Astilbe plant that I won't know if it's going to make it until it grows back - it may be in too much sun as well -but still is in the only somewhat shady spot in my yard. I won't have a shade garden for a few years until a few trees grow up. Well - enough of my garden struggles - another season is upon us!!
Hi Robyn! Ohh the brown baptisia is beautiful. I'm so sorry yours didn't survive. Sometimes plants are just unhealthy for some reason. It might not have been anything you did. If its still in the ground, its possible it comes back this year? It could have been just a bit of planting shock. Fingers crossed for you! The astilbe that is in more sun, as long as you provide it more water, it should do ok. They prefer more shade, but I have seen some in some sunnier gardens and they seem to do ok. Similar to bleeding hearts. They are listed as a shade/part shade plant, but I have a neighbor who has a giant one in the full sun that looks really happy. Spring is almost here!! woohoo 💚🌱
Hi Steph. I have so many favorites from this list. At the top of my list are peonies, but hellebore, sea thrift, bearded iris, and bleeding heart, I can't do without. Wish I could plant some of the more shade tolerant plants but don't have the proper conditions. Thanks for this video!
I agree Jolie, so hard to pick favorites. Thank you so much for watching 🌱
Enjoy your channel.
Thank you so much! 🥰
Re: Sarah Bernhardt peony. I had one in my back yard when I was growing up. You had to watch out or else you would inhale those ants!
lol, yes, I can see that happening! The ants love the peonies as much as we do.
I am thankful for your informative and beautiful videos. I've learned a lot from watching your videos.🌿
Great info and thanks for the ideas. Looks like I'll be breaking the piggy bank!!
Love them all.
I planted some scabious "Blue Butterfly" this last year and you are right, it just keeps blooming. I am trying another variety, "Fama" this year. As long as you give bearded iris full sun and good drainage there is no stopping them. My daughter bought a house in Somerville MA and the backyard was paved long ago. Nonetheless, there was some iris foliage pushing up through the cracks, the remnants of some even longer ago garden. We pulled them out in our general weeding process and threw them in a pile. Several days later I said to my daughter, why don't we just try planting these in the new flower bed? Sure enough they have thrived and multiplied and put on a super show in the spring.
Great list, there's a few I don't have and will try to add this year. My Guara is definitely a favorite! I'm also going to try Midnight Masquerade Penstemon this year after seeing it do well in my area!
That's a great penstemon! I have it in my garden too and love it. Thank you so much for watching.
This is wonderful information for sharing in early Spring. I hope to add some of the varieties you have on your list. Thank you for sharing your favorites.
Wow! 54,000! Cheering your success! Loved this video. My hellebore is beautiful this year.
Hi Pat, Thank you so very much 💚yay for beautiful Hellebore!
Thanks for another awesome video packed with great information. As another viewer also commented, I love how you show the plants growing in your garden.
Thank you so much 💚
Absolutely gorgeous flowers! Thanks
I love all your suggestions, the only think I can suggest to you are tulips
Very nice, informative video- thank you! My favorite perennial is Huchera, Coral Bells. I love that it stays green in winter. I also have an evergreen ground cover around my coral bells called Blue Star Creeper (tiny white flowers) I'm in zone 7.
Great list!! Baptisia is one of my absolute favorites! Of course I love the early blooms, but honestly I really love It for the leaves!
Love this got things i want to add thank you ❤
You're so thorough.....much appreciated!
Thank you so much! 🌱
Beautiful!
So many favorites ! Love the peonies!
Thanks so much 😊
Great list!!
Look forward to your videos 😊. Great info, thank you for sharing. Yes, very exciting for Spring!! Can’t wait to see what else you have planned for us this gardening year.
Thank you so much for watching 🌱
Great choices!
I like the hellebores I have 3 now, nice they bloom so long.
I LOVE hellebore 💚 yes, they really do appear to bloom forever. Great plant.
I love Blue flowers !! I have to find suitable ones ! :))
I want to try the creeping phlox this year😊
Love the list, will definitely look to add some ♥
I so enjoy your videos Steph and details on plants. I’ll look for some geum!
Thank you for a concise, well-informed and well-spoken video. I have many on your list, but am now more informed about Pincushion flower and a couple of others. Thank you.
Thank you much, great video❤️🌺
Thank you Steph! I love all of the varieties you have in your garden and really appreciate the helpful information. We are clearing out a large area that gets lots of sun so I'm excited to try some of these beauties! My shade area has lots of pulmonaria and the hummingbirds love it!
Hi Carla! Thank you so much. Pulmonaria is so pretty! 💚🌱
Love all of your great videos Steph. You r tutorial style is perfect, very detailed and easy to understand. Thanks so much for sharing your expertise!
This was very helpful. Other than catmint, which I love , I really have no spring bloomers. Thanks

Hi Irene, that sound lovely, I'm sure the shore is beautiful in the summer months. Isn't it the best working with our garden assistants? Have fun winter sowing! I'm putting out another 2 containers this afternoon!
Lovely selection 💕
Thank you so much Jasmine 🥰

Thanks!
Hi Kat! I am a little backed up on comments and email and just noticed this super thanks! Thank you so very much for your generosity. You did not have to do that, but I so appreciate it. Thank you again, Steph 💚🥰🌱
Hi Steph! I added the Armeria when I first saw your video of you adding to your garden. I love it too! I planted it in a rock garden with some sedums and its done really well for me. I would love to add Itoh peony Bartzella to my garden this spring.
Hi there! So glad it's doing well for you ☺️
My favorite is Baptisia. Will be adding Hubrichtii this spring!.
Great choices Jo! 🌱
Really great list, Steph! I totally agree with all of them and have most of them! When is your birthday please?

Hi Steph! I watch all your videos and love them. You have a stunning assortment of perennials! Did your mandevilla make it through the winter? I'm thinking of planting them this year along with geraniums.
Hi Elaine! Thank you so much! My Mandeville is alive! It's starting to push new green growth now. I'm going to begin more regular watering now in March (weekly) and giving them fertilizer. I will also be trying to increase heat for them by moving them to a warmer spot by a window. 🤞🤞🤞🌱🌸
@@HookedandRooted Congrats! Good money saving idea.
Very helpful and inspiring, it makes me consider trying gardening. However I am very hesitant. I wish I could have fully flowering garden like yours but everyone keeps telling me it would be weird for young men to even be interested in flowers let alone plant them. I should only have vegetables or lawn apperently.
Thanks for watching my videos. I say do what makes you happy. 🌷
Holy Lungwort. I need that plant. Do you cut it back in late fall?
Hi! I don't do anything too it, I let it die back on its own. Such an easy plant 🌱
Excellent. I just purchased a hellebore in full bloom and believe it came from a greenhouse. I live in mid Michigan now zone 6a...when would be a good time to take it outside and plant?
We can get frosts into mid May. I am wanting to establish a hellebore garden. How much sun can these plants take? Do you fertilize your hellebores?
Hi there! If the hellebore where in full bloom in zone 6, they likely came from a greenhouse. I'm in zone 6 and mine are still in bud form. I would recommend acclimating them by taking them outside a few hours at a time in a protected location for a couple of weeks and then planting them out once they have been ok outside for a full day. We are so close to spring, I would probably just keep them in a basement or garage where its cooler first, then in a couple weeks start acclimating them so that your planting them out closer to end of March. Hellebore do well planted under deciduous trees or places where they get sun during the late fall and winter months, and then shade in the late spring and summer months. Hope this helps.
Hi Steph. For the life of me I can’t never find Jacob’s ladder for my shade garden. Hope maybe I can find a mail order instead.
Hi there! I hope you can find some this season. I was able to find this Proven Winners variety (heaven scent), at the Home depot last season.
How do you prune your pulmonaria, just clean it up or take it back to the ground? Which season? Also, have you found yours to be a short lived perennial? Thank you!
Hi Christi, I don't do anything too it. I let the foliage die back, and then I wait until spring. If there's anything to clean up I will then. I've had mine for about 3 years now, and its self seeded a couple of babies. So even if it turns out to be a short lived perennial, I let the seedlings grow so there will be "back up plants". I would say to divide it at year 3 to keep the plant going. Its a beautiful foliage plant, and has such pretty blooms in very early spring. Hope this helps.
Hello, when would you recommend planting individual iris rhizomes ? I purchased some rhizomes from the nursery in the fall and not sure if I should directing sow them or start them off in planters in the spring ?
Hi Monika! Its typically recommended to plant out rhizomes in late summer/early fall to give them time to root before winter, but I think it really depends on your zone. However, these that your referring too, I would say to pot it up in some soil now get it going by a window and then in spring once chance of frost has passed, plant them out in the garden. That's what I would do. Hope this helps 🌱
@@HookedandRooted Thank you , I’m definitely going to try that ! I’m zone 6A MA
When is the best time to plant for Spring- I am located in Kentucky zone 6?
Hi there! Once the ground starts to thaw, and the temps get warmer in Spring. If purchased at a nursery where the plants were growing outside, its likely they have been hardened off and can be planted out once the the weather allows. However, most greenhouse grown plants will be ahead of schedule as they are growing in a warm environment. As such, those plants would need to be acclimated/hardened off first. This means just bringing them out into the cold a few hours at a time over the course of a week or two to get them used to outdoor temps before you plant them out in the garden. It will depend greatly on which plants. If you don't see them growing in anyone's garden around you yet, then its too soon to plant them out. Its a bit tough to give a direct answer as its very dependent on the plant and whether your buying a nursery plant/greenhouse plant, or bare root plant etc. Hope this helps 🌱
What are the names of the creeping phlox you have? I specifically am looking for the one you have with your armeria 😍
Hi there! Emerald blue creeping phlox.
Creeping phlox is actually hardy down to zone 4. I have a few different ones. Also what variety is that black iris,it's gorgeous.
Hi Sherly, the iris is called "black is black", and it's a beauty ✨️
@@HookedandRooted thanks I'll have to be on the look out for it.
Are Bearded Iris poisonous?
I’d like to add geum did you grow it by seed? I like the one you grow. I like Jacob’s latter but it has not done well for me. Thank you ❤
Hi there! I bought the geum as plants. I bought mine at Lowes, and I find they are showing up more at the local garden centers in late spring for sale. Hope this helps 🌱
@@HookedandRooted thank you 😊
