7 Of The Best Spring Flowers For Brisbane
Bright yellow sunflowers are one of the best spring flowers to plant in Brisbane
Late winter and early spring is a great time to plant lots of flowers before the Brisbane heat truly hits and, while there are lots of flower varieties to choose from, many of the best spring flowers I’d recommend for Brisbane seem to be yellow!
From dainty yellow and white chamomile, to circular (and still yellow) billy buttons, here are 7 of the best spring flowers to get planting in Brisbane.
And if you are wondering what flowers to plant in Brisbane in the other seasons, you may like a copy of my Seasonal Planting Calendar below too!
#1 Sunflowers are always a spring garden favourite and this mammoth variety grew well over my head and brought in scores of bees!
#2 Strawflowers are one of the best spring flowers for Brisbane that aren’t yellow! This white beauty is very hardy in warm weather and lasts for many weeks as well.
#3 Nasturtium flowers are bountiful, smell sweetly fragrant and the leaves are edible too - what’s not to love?
#4 Chamomile is an under the radar gem when it comes to the best spring flowers to grow in Brisbane. The little daisy-like flowers are so cute and have a beautiful scent too.
#5 Celosia is one of the coolest flowers to grow in a Brisbane spring in my opinion and this cool variety called cockscomb lasts a long time as a cut flower. Celosia is also easy to save seed from, meaning you can grow it season after season.
#6 Black-eyed Susan is like mini version of a sunflower and can either have a black or brown centre. They go great in a Brisbane flower patch.
#7 Last but not least, Billy Buttons are one of my all time favourite spring flowers. This yellow ball variety was such a fun flower to have in my backyard and I got a lot of comments on them!
