What flowers bloom in winter
An introduction to the flowers that bloom in winter and the eight common winter flowers in terms of green plants and flowers will be explained in detail by the editor below.
The temperature here is dropping day by day, and people are wrapped in thick cotton padded jackets. Many flowers and plants are also entering a dormant period, and the ground is covered with leaves. This season is already a bit desolate, and without any flowering plants at home, it is inevitable to feel a bit cold and desolate.
Today, let's recommend several cold-resistant plants that bloom even in colder weather, making sure you can enjoy flowers in winter without fail.
1. Hellebore
This flower may be unfamiliar to many people. This hellebore is not that hellebore. Hellebore is also known as nine bulls seven, mandarin duck seven, etc., and is a member of the Ranunculaceae family. It usually blooms around Christmas, and its flowers are as beautiful as roses, hence it is also called the "Christmas rose."
Hellebore is cold-resistant and can withstand temperatures as low as minus 20 degrees Celsius, blooming proudly in the snowy cold. The plant is relatively low-growing with dark green leaves, and both the flowers and leaves are unique, making it a popular variety in winter.
Hellebore prefers a shady and humid environment and dislikes dry cold. In the summer, it needs to be shaded. It is also fond of water, so watering should be timely during maintenance.
2. Ornamental kale
Strictly speaking, it is not a flowering plant, but even its leaves are not inferior to any flowering plants, earning the nickname "leaf peony." As the name suggests, it is as beautiful as peonies. However, it can actually bloom.
