Spring is in the air - as the early season flowers bring a hint of colour and joy, banishing the winter blues away. Head Gardeners such as Lucy and Saul relish this moment in the year as the starting gun for a season of flower, foliage and ultimate fun. Gardening kicks off and all the hard work of winter enters a crescendo of horticultural wonder.

With this in mind, Lucy and Saul decide to showcase their must-grow spring bulbs, perennials and shrubs - especially those that often get overlooked. Choice enkianthus, arisarums, erythroniums, corylopsis, stachyurus and many more should receive pride of place in spring borders, according to these two Head Gardeners. So, if you fancy shaking up the usual spring suspects, grab your notebook!
