Herbaceous perennials are what I have in mind for this thread. While bulb plants are perennials, and typically get most of the attention at this time of year, I love combining herbaceous perennials with them to give the garden a lush look as early as possible.
Some favorites of mine are:
Mertensia virginica, Virginia Bluebells
Phlox- various spring blooming species
Ajuga
Lathyrus vernus
Dicentra spectabilis, Bleeding Heart
Hellebores
Aquilegia various species and cultivars
Epimedium
Hellebores
Lathyrus vernus
Epimedium, my first to bloom!
Please share your favorite spring perennials! And pictures too, both individual plant shots and how you've combined them!
