Your Guide to British Spring Flowers

After a long, grey winter, spring flowers are finally appearing. These cheerful blooms are a sign of new beginnings and the promise of warmer days ahead – perfect for sharing joy with loved ones.

The easiest way to bring spring inside? Daffodils are like sunshine in a vase - a simple way to brighten someone's day. Tulips are available in a rainbow of colours, adding a touch of elegance to any home with their graceful shapes. They also make a wonderful housewarming gift. And then there are the bright gerberas – think of them as daisies with serious wow factor. Their eye-catching colours make them a real statement bloom, ideal for a vibrant and cheerful birthday bouquet.

Whether you choose one type of flower or mixture of several, the best spring flowers will transform any indoor space with their fresh colours, subtle fragrance and refreshing energy.

Want to give spring flower arrangements that look like they're straight from a florist? Start with seasonal stars such as daffodils, tulips and hyacinths, mixing heights and textures for natural appeal. The secret is working with odd numbers – try grouping flowers in threes or fives – and adding greenery like eucalyptus or ferns to fill spaces and create depth.

For longer-lasting arrangements, trim stems at an angle, remove any leaves below the waterline and change the water every few days.

Sometimes the simplest arrangements make the biggest impact, such as a big bunch of daffodils in a clear glass vase or a cluster of hyacinths in a vintage-style pot - both thoughtful and beautiful gift ideas. And if flower arranging isn't your thing, choose a pretty pre-styled spring arrangement in a basket or a rose and tulip bouquet in a vase.
