What flowers can be planted in the winter courtyard that won't freeze to death? A roundup of several cold-hardy flowers
Every winter, the earth is wrapped in silver, which is beautiful to look at, but all living things lose their vitality. In winter, I always hear friends complaining that their flowers have "died" again. In fact, there are some flowers that do not compete with the hundred blooms in the warm spring, but stand proudly in the cold wind. In this bleak and cold season, why not grow some cold-hardy flower varieties together? Below are several flowers recommended by the editor that can bloom even in winter. Get started right away.
I. Plum blossom
At the mention of winter, the first flower variety that comes to everyone's mind should be the plum blossom. The plum blossom can be called the beloved of many people, and the pens of scholars and writers can never leave out the plum blossom that defies wind and frost. Whether red plum or white plum, each has its own charm in writing. The blooming period of the plum blossom generally runs from December to February of the following year. The plum also has extremely high medicinal value, and medical books of the Ming Dynasty recorded quite a few of the plum blossom's medicinal uses. So the plum blossom is also a rare flower for both medicine and food.
II. Saffron (Crocus sativus)
This is a cold-hardy bulbous flower that likes cold weather and, on the contrary, does not adapt to a hot environment. This flower is very suitable for planting in autumn and blooming in winter. In the ice and snow, a splash of brilliant color stands in the courtyard against the wind, and I believe such a scene will surely astonish you. When planting this flower, soil with good drainage is needed to keep the roots breathable, and sandy soil is best.
III. Begonia (Malus spectabilis)
Begonia is a flower that everyone is familiar with. Begonia is both drought-tolerant and cold-hardy, and it is also an evergreen plant in all four seasons, making it a flower very suitable for long-term care. When begonia blooms, it is beautiful and delicate, and there are a great many varieties. Each variety of begonia has its own unique beauty, and it can also adsorb smoke and dust, and has a very strong absorption capacity for some harmful gases as well. When placed indoors, it can not only freshen the air, but also adorn the home, making it look even warmer and more charming.
IV. Hylotelephium spectabile (long-stamen stonecrop)
Hylotelephium spectabile itself is very cold-hardy and drought-tolerant, and can survive even in extremely harsh living environments, making it a flower very suitable for the winter courtyard. When it blooms, it is a mass of clustered blossoms, with flowers in multiple colors: purple, pink, and pale red. The light colors are very pleasing to look at, making it a flower with extremely high ornamental value.
