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.

Calendula: Calendula – aka marigold – blooms in the summer and fall, but some varieties will stick around past the frost and well into late fall. You can even urge them to give you a second blossom in the dead of winter in some areas. Even if they don't bloom a second time, the green leaves add color to your garden. Bonus: calendula makes a delicious tea. Bloom time: Typically, summer until late fall.
