What Are The Best Flowers That Bloom In Winter

Winter Jasmine

Just because the chilly months are here doesn't mean your lawn has to be gray and dead. But there is a cure for those landscape winter blues. Plant some flowers that bloom in the winter. These plants flourish in cold weather.

Flowers that Bloom in the Winter

Calendulas
Daisy-like calendulas deliver simple, vibrant colors in mild-winter climates. These flowers last quite some time in a pot. Choose yellow or orange, or pick softer shades of yellow, cream or apricot. The colors look perfect together in a vase.

Calendula plants take a small amount of water and total sun. They tolerate any soil type as long as it has adequate drainage.

Pansy
These low-growing flowers with five petals are best sellers for a good reason. Pansies bloom for a long time through the wintertime. The huge-flowered bi-colored and solid varieties will most likely catch your attention in a flower shop the first time.

English Primrose
Most primroses flourish in summer or spring. Though some English primrose flowers are excellent choices for the wintertime. English primroses grow either in bunches or alone. These round flowers are available in practically every color, growing up to 12 inches high. Complete sunshine and regular watering help these flowers to flourish.

Winter Jasmine
Winter jasmines stand out fantastically in a winter outdoor space. Vibrant yellow flowers appear in winter before attractive glossy leaves develop. These flowers have no scent. A winter jasmine flower thrives in imperfect conditions, becoming a prolific bloomer in good soil and full sun. To control growth, pinch when necessary.

Viola
Similar to its cousin, the pansy, violas brighten dull days with a sweet fragrance and energetic colors. Violas make an excellent winter plant, available in cream, blue, white, yellow, and bi-colored.

Use violas to create colorful winter flowerpots, covers for springtime bulbs, and mass coloring in edging and borders. Viola flowers take the complete sun. If the flowers begin to look raggedy, get rid of them. To prolong the blooms of violas, pick them.
