The early spring superstars

This spring has felt like a bit of a rollercoaster, with the an abundance of ranunculus, anemones, freesias and daffodils but only for a few early spring weeks, and then a lull while other flowers are still warming up. These flowers overwintered, like ranunculus, are super sensitive to temperature changes. Remember the week where we had a few 26 degree days, followed by 15 degrees? Yeah, they don’t love that, thanks Melbourne.

Here is a wrap up of the early spring superstars: daffodils, ranunculus, anemones and freesias. All bulbs and corms were planted in April 2026, with harvests starting from late August into early spring.

Varieties pictured here:

  • Ranunculus: Picasso Romantic, White, Yellow and Mix · Florentine Pink

  • Freesia: Starlight · Morning Sun · Purple Rain · Blue Bayou

  • Daffodil: High Society · White Lion · Double Safina · Golden Trumpet

  • Anemone: Poppy Pink · De Caen Blue · Double Blue · Bicolour
