Spring Is In Bloom! Bring the Springtime Into Your Home With These Flowering Houseplants

Now that the weather is warm again outside, you may want to brighten things up inside as well. This means freshening up your decor with beautiful blooming flowers and plants that will add a pop of color to any room. Here are just a few of the best springtime blooms to display in your home.

  1. African Violets. With their signature purple hue and their low-maintenance care, African violets are some of the most popular indoor flowers. While they look especially pretty in the springtime, they bloom well all year round.
  2. Hibiscus. Looking for a flower that smells as good as it looks? The hibiscus is a tropical plant that will add a lovely scent to any room. The hearty shrub also blooms from late spring through summer, which means it's perfect for warm weather.
  3. Peace Lily. The peace lily blossoms in low light and low humidity, which makes it an easy plant for those who don't have much of a green thumb. Despite its low-maintenance tendencies, its elegant white flower and dark green leaves make a big impact in your home.
  4. Jasmine. Jasmine is one of the most recognizable springtime flowers, and there are many different types to choose from. They need plenty of light for their small white flowers to bloom, so this is a particularly good choice for rentals with lots of natural light.
