What You Should Plant in Your Garden for Spring, Based on Your Zodiac Sign

Spring is approaching, which means a garden refresh is on the horizon! As the ground starts thawing, gardeners are getting prepared for spring by adding new plants for the growing season. Naturally, your climate and location may dictate the types of plants or flowers you choose, but with so many options, you may still not know which varieties are best for your ideal garden.

Astrology may help us predict our days, but it can also be a great indicator of which decor, styles, and, yes, even garden plants best suit our personalities. Whether you’re a grounded Taurus, a passionate Leo, or a unique Aquarius, you can find the ideal plant you’re looking for.

Check out your zodiac sign below to see which plant you should add to your garden this spring.

Aries: Anemones

For your passionate fire sign lifestyle, anemones are ideal for your spring garden, Aries.

While the bulbous plant comes in a variety of sizes and colors, red anemones could be perfect, given red is your power color. They are relatively easy to care for as long as they receive proper amounts of sunlight and well-drained soil.

Additionally, they don't require much pruning to keep your garden space tidy, which fits well with your on-the-go schedule.

Taurus: Rose Bushes

For the Venus-ruled earth sign, you can not go wrong with a classic rose bush. Like Taurus, roses are associated with themes of love, beauty, and passion, making them an ideal addition to a spring garden.

They align well with your earth-sign nature by being hardy and withstanding whatever comes their way. They do require specific care needs and a routine, which you resonate with and can skillfully manage. While you’ll want to watch out for those thorns, their elegance is worth it.

Gemini: Lavender

Gemini signs can look no further than their birth flower, lavender, to plant in their gardens this spring. For the fast-paced Mercurial nature of the air sign, relaxing lavender plants are perfect for soothing the mind and adding a calming fragrance to your outdoor space.

Additionally, lavender also pairs well with a wide variety of others, making it suitable for the sign that loves possibilities.

Cancer: Shasta Daises

Various daises work exceptionally well in a spring garden for the moon-ruled water sign. Cancer zodiac signs are highly associated with the color white, and their simple, resilient presence embodies them well.

Plus, their ability to attract pollinators will keep your garden space thriving through the warmer months.

Leo: Sunflowers

It only makes sense for the sun-ruled fire sign to embrace the sunflower this spring. From the towering presence to the sunny, cheerful appearance, sunflowers are a match made in heaven for Leos.

While these flowers are known to bloom throughout the summer and last into the fall, planting in the spring gives them plenty of time to flourish by the time your zodiac season rolls around.

Virgo: Chrysanthemums

For the Mercury-ruled earth sign, look no further than chrysanthemums for your garden. As the birth flower of Virgos, chrysanthemums are usually hardy, vibrant, and full of detail—ideal for the perfectionistic sign.

While they usually don’t fully bloom until late summer and early fall, it’s essential to plant them in the spring to give them time to grow deep roots, so it’s good to plan ahead.

Libra: Virginia Bluebells

For the Venus-ruled air sign, flowers that are a mix of beauty and harmony are a must. Virginia bluebells work well with Libras, given their light blue hue (a lucky color for the sign) and their ability to attract pollinators that bring balance to the garden.

As for appearance, the delicate trumpet-shaped bulbs create a stunning display that is worth the care and attention it needs to flourish.

Scorpio: Hardy Geraniums

Scorpios looking to fill out their garden spaces can rely on hardy geraniums. Like the reserved water sign, geraniums prefer to stay low to the ground, with flower stalks that weave through neighboring plants.

They come in a variety of colors and species and are fairly low-maintenance plants, and their association with loyalty and security is a perfect fit for Scorpios.

Sagittarius: Carnations

As a Jupiter-ruled fire sign, Sagittarius thrives on bold, vibrant plants that make a statement, making carnations an excellent choice for their garden.

Carnations are usually grown for use as cut flowers, and their spicy, clove scent is right on par with the traveling fire sign. They do require intentional care in the form of deadheading blooms, but their striking presence is perfect for the optimistic Sagittarius.

Capricorn: Pansies

For the dedicated, Saturn-ruled earth sign, pansies make an ideal choice to plant in the garden. Pansies are the birth flower of Capricorns, and their associations with perseverance and loyalty reflect the hallmark traits of the sign.

Pansies are also known to be cold-tolerant, a perfect fit for a sign born in cooler temperatures. While they aren’t difficult plants to care for, they do require intentional effort to keep them at their best, and Capricorns are certainly up to the task.

Aquarius: Bearded Irises

As a Uranus-ruled air sign, Aquarius prefers plants that capture attention and stand apart, making irises a good choice for their garden.

The vast number of iris types appeals to Aquarius's eccentric nature without being too difficult to maintain. The sword-like leaves and wide range of varieties work well with a sign that enjoys uniqueness without going over the top.

Pisces: Water Lilies

For the Neptune-ruled water sign, it makes sense that water lilies (or lotus flowers) would be a match made in heaven for the garden.

When possible, Pisces loves to be close to water or have water features woven into their outdoor spaces, and water lilies are a beautiful addition that is easy to care for. While they flourish in the summer, they are best planted in spring for the most optimal growth.
