If there’s anyone who knows a thing or two about gardening, it’s Martha Stewart. In addition to her various gardening books and entire home and garden media empire, she continues to grow and nurture her own garden at home at Bedford Farm in Katonah, New York.

So with spring flowers just starting to make their appearance across the country, we wanted to find out which flowers Stewart herself is growing this time of year—and there are a few notable ones we think will become big hits this year.

Snowdrops

Snowdrops are one of the earliest spring bulbs to emerge from the ground after winter, and their delicate white bell-shaped flowers and green stems make them a great addition to any garden.

Stewart posted on her Instagram account about the snowdrops on her farm in early March. Snowdrops grow in clumps, and are a welcome sight so early in the season.

Crocus

Crocus flowers bookend blooming season: autumn crocus grows in fall as one of the last-flowering bulbs, and spring crocus can start to appear as early as January or February, depending on the severity of the winter.

Stewart’s farm has patches of croci—which look to us like Crocus tommasinianus ‘Lilac Beauty’ or early crocus—which will grow until early spring.

The nice thing about crocus is that they are self-propagating, plus they’re low-maintenance and one of the earliest bloomers for bees in spring.

Hellebores

Hellebores, also known as lenten rose or Christmas rose, are another spring-flowering bulb we saw in Stewart’s garden.

“I’ve had hellebores in my garden for many years and find it so delightful to see their blooms in March and know they will continue through spring until the end of May,” Stewart wrote on her Instragram account.

Hellbores come in a range of different colors and belong to the same flower family as 2025’s flower of the year, ranunculus.

Witch Hazel

Stewart’s spring-flowering garden goes beyond just bulbs—she also posted a photo of some witch hazel, a shrub with yellow or orange and scarlet red flowers, which can even bloom during winter.

Stewart notes that witch hazel flowers are one of the only plants in bloom when the rest of the landscape is gray and wintry.

Muscari

Stewart notes that she grows “lots of muscari” around her farm, and in fact, she just planted more this year. Stewart likes muscari, also known as grape hyacinth, for its blue or purple flowers, and the foliage that looks similar to grass—making it a great option for fields and grassy areas.
