A Tour of Native Vernal Bloomers
One of the earliest flowers is rue anemone. Formerly named Anemonella thalictroides, the taxonomy has changed and it is now Thalictrum thalictroides— meaning meadow rue-like meadow rue.
vernal search for term- a. (L. vernalis, of the spring) belonging to the spring; appearing or occurring in spring; of the spring season.

Bulbs are a mainstay of the spring garden, but need the vernalization (over-wintering) to flower then, so now is the time to plant them! Pick the bulbs that work for your area and climate and make sure to follow instructions on depth and placement.

This year, March 20 marks the Vernal or Spring Equinox, when day and night are the same length. Don't be fooled by the calendar though. Depending on where you live, freezing weather can persist well past the official start of spring.
Paperwhite narcissus can be easily forced to bloom anytime in winter thru spring because unlike tulips, hyacinths or daffodils, they do not require a cooling period (vernalization) ...
Southern California and a few parts of the Southern states are places affected. In these areas you can "vernalize'--give an artificial chill period--by storing the fresh bulbs in plastic bags in a refrigerator; then planting them in the normal manner.
Technically, Easter is the first Sunday following the first full moon after the vernal equinox. So depending on the cycle of the moon, Easter can fall between March 22 and April 25.
To make the seed 'think' it has been through a winter, place the seed in the fridge for a couple of days before planting. This vernalisation or cold process will then make the seed viable and after sowing will emerge in about 9-10 days.
Unfortunately most witch hazels, except H. vernalis and H. virginiana, are grafted more often than not (you can tell by the bulge at the base of the plant). I recommend taking the trouble to search out ungrafted plants.
