As winter makes its entrance, it doesn't signify the end of blooming splendour in your garden. Winter bloomers are the heroes of the cold season, bringing a touch of colour and life to the wintry environment. In this blog, you'll learn more about two winter bloomers that will make your garden shine, even in the coldest months.
What are winter bloomers?
Winter bloomers are plants that, unlike most others, produce flowers during the cold winter months. Adapted to low temperatures and short days, they inject a splash of colour and vitality into gardens and landscapes when the natural surroundings often seem a bit sombre. Winter bloomers include various types of plants, such as shrubs, trees, perennials, and flowering bushes. They are a welcome addition to the garden, offering a beautiful spectacle of colour and form just when most other plants are at rest.
1. Camellia (Camellia Yuletide)
The Camellia is an elegant winter bloomer with large, lush flowers ranging from soft pink to deep red. The glossy green leaves create a beautiful contrast with the flowers, providing a striking visual effect. Plant this beauty in a sheltered spot with partial shade for an enchanting winter bloom.
2. Witch Hazel (Hamamelis)
The witch hazel is a true winter champion with its striking, spider-like flowers that appear on bare branches. This blooming shrub adds a touch of mystery and beauty to your winter garden—plant witch hazel in a sunny to partial shade location for an enchanting winter landscape.
