Plants that bloom in March in Zone 3 with yellow flowers

Crocus

One of the first signs of spring, pushing through snow with jewel-toned cups.

Daffodil

Cheerful trumpets that naturalize beautifully and return stronger each year.

Dutchman's Breeches

Finely cut foliage and clusters of puffy white pantaloon-shaped flowers in early spring. A charming ephemeral that disappears by summer.

Forsythia

A wall of golden yellow on bare branches. Spring's loudest announcement.

Ice Follies Daffodil

White petals frame a wide, ruffled cup that opens yellow and fades to cream. Multiplies fast.

King Alfred Daffodil

The classic golden trumpet daffodil. Naturalizes into massive sweeps that return for decades.

Tete-a-Tete Daffodil

Miniature golden trumpets, two to three per stem, on a tiny plant. The earliest daffodil and the best one for containers and the front of the bed.

Tulip

The classic spring icon in almost every color imaginable.

Winter Aconite

Buttercup-yellow blooms that push through frozen ground before the crocuses.

Witch Hazel

Spidery, fragrant blooms on bare branches when nothing else dares.
