What Flowers Grow in April?

Crossvine

• Native to parts of North America, the crossvine, or trumpet-flower vine, thrives as a perennial climbing vine. It's spotted ordinarily growing high up trees, and it is quite a high climber. It's drought-tolerant and thrives in USDA Hardiness Zones 6 through 9. This hardy flowering vine blooms with bright reddish-orange trumpet flowers throughout late winter and early spring. This makes it an attractive flower to take note of in the month of April.

Fly Poison

• Also referred to as stagger grass, fly poison is an April-blooming flowering grass. It is a member of the lily family and grows in clumplike patches of stout green bladelike foliage. A single tubular stem shoots from the center of each clump and produces a series of frilly, small white flowers. It blooms eagerly throughout the rainy season of April in temperate climates and prefers moist, loamy soil with direct sunlight. Every pat of the fly poison plant is toxic, and ingesting it can be fatal.

Trillium

• Trillium gets its name from the Greek word for three, which is fitting since the flower presenting only three petals. Trillium grows throughout the United States and blooms in a variety of colors and strains. They are stout, low-lying plants with deep-green, velvety foliage. The blossoms vary in color from bright white to purple. Some varieties of trillium produce petals with different colors on the same plant. They bloom in wet, loamy soil with humus-enriched topsoil near woodland areas. They prefer partial shade, though some varieties depend on full shade. They bloom during the month of April throughout many parts of North America but mainly the eastern U.S.
