We’ve got you covered with same-day delivery, nationwide!

Notable Winter Blooms

Those living in northern climes don’t expect to see flowers blooming until spring, but there are a number of flowers that bloom even when it’s cold outside.

Flowers that bloom in winter include:

Snowdrops

By its name, it’s easy to conclude that this spectacular white perennial appears in the wintertime. If planning a winter garden, plant snowdrops in clumps so they will spread naturally. They do well in the shadow of almost all trees.

Glory-of-the-snow

Another flower with a wintry name, glory-of-the-snow features star-shaped blue, pink, or lavender blossoms with a white center.

Snow crocus

More than 90 perennials belong to the crocus genus, but guess which one sports its welcome blooms in winter? These colorful flowers appear in late winter, a signal that winter is leaving and spring is approaching.

Hellebores

Blooming between Christmas and early spring, these “Lenten roses” are frost-tolerant. They prefer shade, so don’t plant them in areas of full sun.

Cyclamen

Most flowers bloom in warm weather and go dormant once temperatures dip. That’s not the case with cyclamen, which blooms every winter and becomes dormant when it’s hot. Cyclamen also makes an ideal indoor winter plant.
