Plantings are distributed across elevations and exposures, allowing blooms to emerge in sequence rather than all at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the centre is <strong>Queen Victoria Park,<\/strong> where formal beds and open lawns frame views of the Horseshoe Falls. Nearby, <strong>Oakes Garden Theatre <\/strong>offers structured terraces with geometric plantings. Farther along, the <strong>Niagara Parks Botanical Gardens<\/strong> expands the experience with curated collections and mature trees that bloom later in the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-early-spring-daffodils-and-the-first-colour\"><strong>Early Spring: Daffodils and the First Colour<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By mid-April, daffodils establish the first widespread colour. Large naturalized clusters appear along the Niagara Parkway and near the brink of the falls, particularly between Clifton Hill and Murray Street. These plantings follow the contours of the land, creating sweeping bands of yellow that shift with the terrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1366\" height=\"911\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cliftonhill.com\/falls_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/niagara-falls-tulips-1366x911.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-59477\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-early-may-tulips-and-structured-displays\"><strong>Early May: Tulips and Structured Displays<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tulips typically emerge in early May, with peak colour often aligning with the period around Mother\u2019s Day.
