Who said that during the cold months we can't have a beautiful and blooming garden? There are cold-hardy flowers that can withstand cold temperatures and like to enjoy a snowy day just as much as we do. Which plants do we choose if we want flowers to brighten up the coldest days?
Cyclamen (Cyclamen) has a wide range of colors. It ranges from white to scarlet, passing through pink, purple or salmon. It remains dormant during the summer and sprouts with the drop in temperatures and the arrival of the rains.
The meadow daisy (Bellis perennis) is a flower suitable for maintaining a flowering landscape throughout the year. It grows in all types of climates, but prefers colder climates to stimulate flowering. It should be protected from frost by covering it with conifer branches or straw. In summer it needs a lot of watering.
Pansy (Viola × wittrockiana) is very popular because of its long flowering time, as it tolerates low temperatures very well. It is widely used to design winter gardens because its flowers are born in autumn and last well into spring. They live between sun and semi-shade and need watering every other day during the flowering period.
The winter hydrangea (Bergenia crassifolia) is a perennial flower that keeps its leaves in the same state all year round, but reaches its most flowering beauty in winter. Its flower is very fragrant and has bright colors such as white and red, although the purple variety is famous. It is a shade species that does not tolerate drought.
Primrose or primrose (Primula) is abundant in stores in November and December. In January it begins to bloom. The range of colors is incredibly wide. It is used as a houseplant, but does not tolerate heating. It needs a cool and bright place throughout the year.
The chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum) is a flower that is associated with the deceased, as it is common to see it adorning the graves of our loved ones. However, in the language of flowers, chrysanthemum means joy.
The daffodil (Narcissus) is a beautiful flower that shines in all its splendor during the colder months. Although the most abundant are the white ones, there are also yellow varieties that are just as striking.
The snowdrop or galanthus (Galanthus nivalis) is a perennial that blooms even in the snow, so its resistance to cold is more than proven. Its white hanging flowers are very characteristic.
The common violet or garden violet (Viola odorata) is a fragrant and very showy flower that blooms in the last weeks of winter. Due to its undemanding care, it is very popular among the initiated.
The mimosa (Acacia dealbata) is very recognizable by its clusters of yellow pompons. It tolerates cold well, and although its resistance to frost is proven, if frost occurs continuously, it could be in danger.
