I constructed this list of flowers that start with S to help aspiring gardeners select plants for spring. Undoubtedly, spring is a time of new beginnings and it is the best time to start a garden.<\/p>\n

You can easily germinate seeds either indoors or in beds outside and have a thriving garden in no time.<\/p>\n

\"Gardener<\/p>\n

There are many flowers that start with S and I\u2019ve selected thirty of my personal favorites. These flowers or flowering shrubs or trees each have their own characteristics.<\/p>\n

This means that not all of them may be suitable, but you\u2019re sure to find a few that you like.<\/p>\n

Picking Flowers Beginning with S<\/h2>\n

The whole idea of this list of flowers that start with S is to help you select plants for your garden. Therefore, I have included some important metrics on the sun and water requirements for each plant or flower.<\/p>\n

Be sure to take a close look at the soil pH requirements as well. If you plant these flowers in favorable conditions, then they are more likely to thrive.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Saffron (Crocus sativus<\/em>)<\/h3>\n

\"Flowers<\/p>\n

Most readers will already be familiar with saffron as an exotic and expensive spice. However, the plant itself is a popular garden variety and boasts beautiful flowers as well.<\/p>\n

Saffron is so expensive that many people wonder whether or not it\u2019s possible to grow their own. The short answer is yes, but it may take a long time to get a bountiful harvest.<\/p>\n

This is the very reason why saffron is so pricey. The saffron flower is a deep purple flower and the saffron spice is actually the red stigmas inside the flower.<\/p>\n

Water:<\/strong> Keep watered until established, then once every 15 days<\/em><\/p>\n

Sun:<\/strong> Full sun<\/em><\/p>\n

Soil pH:<\/strong> 5.8 \u2013 7.8<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Sage (Salvia officinalis<\/em>)<\/h3>\n

\"Beautiful<\/p>\n

Sage is a fairly woody shrub and it makes a good addition to any herb garden. Most people will know sage as the pale green herb that pairs well with sausage, chicken breast, and Thanksgiving stuffing.<\/p>\n

What I like about using sage in a herb garden is that it can be harvested up to three times a season. As a bonus, the sage bush has upright, purple flowers that will add a splash of color to your garden.<\/p>\n

Water:<\/strong> Regularly<\/em><\/p>\n

Sun:<\/strong> Full sun<\/em><\/p>\n

Soil pH:<\/strong> 6.0 \u2013 6.5<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Sand Dollar Cactus (Astrophytum Asterias<\/em>)<\/h3>\n

Although most of the flowers that start with S on this list are intended for the garden, not all are. The sand dollar cactus, for example, will do very well if planted in a pot indoors. Cacti and succulents are favorite indoor plants because they are so easy to care for.<\/p>\n

The sand dollar cactus is a round little cactus with pretty spots and has large, yellow flowers. If you like cacti, you\u2019re sure to love this one that will look beautiful on a sunny counter or desk.<\/p>\n

Water:<\/strong> Only when dry, from March to October<\/em><\/p>\n

Sun:<\/strong> Partial sun<\/em><\/p>\n

Soil pH:<\/strong> 5.5 \u2013 6.5<\/em><\/p>\n
