22 Winter Flowers That Thrive During the Coldest Months of the Year

When the weather outside is cold and frightful, nothing is more delightful than a garden adorned with winter-blooming plants. But it doesnt mean that your garden has to appear bare, brown, and depressing. Many of winter colorful flowers bloom during the darkest, coldest times of the year. Is it possible to grow flowers in the winter? That depends entirely on where you live.

Mahonia or Oregon Grape: While you're likely to spot red and white-hued blooms in the winter and early spring, yellow is less common. If you're interested in a golden parade of blooms, choose Mahonia for your winter garden. The yellow flower clusters provide a bright golden brilliance during dull winter days. The shrubs grow slowly and should be well-watered until established. Bloom time: December until early spring.
