Introduction: Knowledge about cold-resistant and precious tree species potted plants and trees and flowers suitable for planting in northern courtyards will surely be helpful to you. Let's learn about them together!
In the southern region, the temperature is suitable, and any flowers can grow and bloom normally. However, in the northern region, with high temperatures in summer and cold winters, many flowers are prone to problems when kept at home. If you are a novice at flower cultivation and want to grow beautiful and cold-resistant plants, Xiaoqi recommends five common plants in the northern green belts today. They can not only be used for greening but also be potted at home, which is also very beautiful. Why is it necessary to mention common plants in green belts? Because they can survive outdoors in winter and require minimal management for successful cultivation. It will also be much easier for you to grow them at home, and even novices can keep them alive, so I will tell you about them.
1. Winter jasmine
Winter jasmine is a type of woody vine plant. Its branches can grow very long and easily become woody, hanging down beautifully. Moreover, its underground rhizomes are very thick, which can be used for Bonsai cultivation. Many Bonsai enthusiasts grow winter jasmine. It is a typical northern plant that can tolerate temperatures as low as minus 20 to 30 degrees Celsius. It will not have problems when potted outdoors in winter. Moreover, it is often planted in large numbers in green belts, and when the branches hang down and are covered with yellow flowers in spring, it is very beautiful. If you want to grow them, you can buy a few pots and easily care for them at home. Just move them indoors after the leaves fall in autumn, and they will bloom soon.
2. Ornamental kale
As the name suggests, ornamental kale is a type of vegetable. It is a kind of horticultural vegetable variety mainly used as an ornamental plant. Throughout its growth process, the leaves at the bottom are green and will grow other colors such as purple and yellow, making it relatively rich in variety. Once you plant it, it can grow within a few months, and the color layers will be very beautiful. In the north, it is the most common plant in green belts during winter. Even if covered by snow, it will still maintain green leaves and colorful appearance after the snow melts. It is a perennial plant, and after several years of cultivation, the bottom stem will become woody, making it very beautiful for Bonsai. At home, you just need to buy some seeds or a seedling and plant it in a pot to cultivate it for a long time, which has a very high ornamental value.
3. Chinese pink
In some northern residential areas, you can often see a type of small plant in the green belts that can produce small purple flowers, which are very beautiful. It is called Chinese pink. It has strong cold resistance and can tolerate temperatures as low as minus 20 to 30 degrees Celsius. It can remain green in cold conditions throughout the year and is not afraid of high temperatures in summer, continuing to grow normally. If well cared for, it can bloom throughout the year. You can choose a different variety of Chinese pink with large and colorful flowers to plant in a pot.

4.海棠
Haybush is the most common plant seen in highway green belts, including varieties like weeping cherry. These plants grow very tall and form a large tree shape. After planting, they bloom beautifully in spring. Actually, these plants also bloom when they are young. We just need to buy a small seedling, shape it nicely, and grow it into a Bonsai, which is the most beautiful. As long as the planting environment has sufficient light, does not lack water, and is fertilized regularly, it can grow normally at home and almost bloom every year. Moreover, it has good cold resistance and can tolerate temperatures as low as minus 20 to 30 degrees Celsius, making it the most suitable for planting in the north.
5. Chinese rose
Chinese roses are probably familiar to everyone. The most common ones seen in highway green belts and residential areas are the large single-petaled ones, which have strong growth and blooming abilities, allowing you to see flowers almost every day. If you want to grow Chinese roses, Xiaoqi suggests not choosing new varieties but going for the old large-flowered ones instead. These have a longer blooming period, are easier to care for, and have fewer diseases and pests.
When cultivating other varieties at home, it is necessary to ensure sufficient light and ventilation. If grown outdoors, there won't be any problems. Indoor cultivation requires regular spraying of pesticides to prevent issues like leaf rot, leaf spots, and pest infestations. As long as these things are taken care of, along with proper watering and fertilizing, and plenty of sunlight, it can continue to bloom. Removing the spent flowers in time can even lead to a second blooming. However, in the north, the temperature is low in winter, and it will be in a state of stopped growth or defoliation. Overall, it is relatively cold-tolerant and can withstand temperatures above minus 20 degrees Celsius.
These five flowers can be seen in the green belts if you look carefully. They are cold-tolerant, easy to care for, and beautiful, all capable of flowering. If you like them, you can look for seeds or seedlings, plant them in pots, and they will also be very beautiful for indoor display.
