Pansies
Pansies are a winter favorite, and they come in so many different colors that there is truly something for everyone. They are an excellent plant for beginning gardeners because they are so simple to grow. Planting in containers, baskets, and window boxes allows you to enjoy color from October to March.
Camellias
Camellias are a highly sought-after, low-maintenance, and extremely hardy shrub that is ideal for planting in a pot or border. Your winter and spring gardens will glisten with extravagant blooms that bees and butterflies adore. Their evergreen foliage ensures that there is always something interesting to look at in the garden.
Primrose
Modern primroses, which come in a dazzling array of colors and sizes, provide better flowering, particularly during the winter months. From mid-winter onwards, Primrose husky mixed produces rosettes of flowers, providing a riot of color to brighten winter beds, borders, window boxes, and containers. It is good to harden off your primroses before planting them, and water sparingly until their roots establish. Overwatering containers encourage rot because damp soil and cold weather enhance it.
Mistletoe
Mistletoe is one of the most well-known winter plants, but it can also easily slip under the radar. Have you ever considered growing your own mistletoe to hang above the fireplace during the holidays? This could be the year for you to do so! Mistletoe is a parasitic plant that feeds on the nutrients provided by its host. As a result, to grow mistletoe, you must recreate this type of environment. Simply cut a large branch and plant berry seeds within the crevices to accomplish this.
Polyanthus
Polyanthus plants are similar to primroses except that the flowers bloom in flowerheads clusters and sturdy stems. Polyanthus is as brightly colored and have long-lasting flowers, making them ideal winter bedding plants for beds, containers, and window boxes. Polyanthus’ most scented mix, which blooms from January to May, is a good choice for a fragrant display this winter. Plant in the sun or semi-shade, and deadhead frequently to promote flowering.
Cyclamen
During the winter season, this delightful perennial flower provides a burst of beautiful color. When it is dark and gloomy outside, nothing brings you more joy than a blooming plant.
