Even keen gardeners mistakenly believe that having a colorful garden during the winter months is an impossible task. In fact, there are many beautiful plants that continue to bloom in moderate cold.

Imagine that the organism of flowers is somewhat similar to yours: it also has blood vessels through which important fluids pass. They not only nourish the plant with water and nutrients, but also protect the cells from freezing. Of course, this ability cannot withstand severe frost, but some flowers adequately cope with temperatures down to -10 ° C. nine0017

In addition, you can help them survive: covering the plant with a tarpaulin at night or spraying water at the roots will increase their immunity to cold.

If you are lucky enough to live in a climate with mild winters, these plants will bloom all year round.

Hellebore

Sometimes called "Christmas Rose" it is a wonderful association with winter. Its flowers range from light pink to deep purple, dark red and almost black. In mild winters, buds appear as early as early January, while in cooler winters, you will have to wait until February or March.

Calendula

If you want more sun in a cold winter, cheerful calendula will do a great job. It will not only cheer you up, but also support your health: you can make a healing tincture, cream or tea from dried flowers. nine0017

Winter Jasmine

This type of jasmine is one of the few winter plants that not only blooms in the cooler months, but also thrives in the cold. And trust us, their bright yellow flowers against a snow-covered landscape are a sight not to be missed.
