Morphology

spring-blooming = spring + bloom (transparent) = spring + bloom + ing

Formed by combining 'spring' + 'bloom' with the participial suffix '-ing'; meaning 'flowering in spring' is directly inferable.

Etymology

Spring-blooming joins spring, the season when plants 'come back to life', and blooming, from bloom meaning 'to open into a flower'. So spring-blooming describes a plant that 'flowers' during the spring season.
