Although flowers are not the first thing to come to mind when winter is mentioned, there are a number of hardy plants and flowers that are planted or even bloom during the winter season. Some flowers prefer the milder climates of the deep south while others thrive in cold temperatures. The experts at Bosland’s Flower Shop would love to share some of our favorite winter flowers with you so that your home can bloom even in winter.

Christmas Cactus

As a succulent plant, the Christmas Cactus is easy to grow. Make sure the plant your cactus in soil that drains well. During winter, your cactus only needs watering every week or so to encourage blooming. With proper care, your Christmas Cactus will provide years of vibrant blooms during the holiday season.

The Red Poinsettia Basket, carefully crafted by the floral experts at Bosland’s Flower Shop, fill a lovely wicker basket with flowers that depict the colors of the holiday.

Snowdrops

Beautiful, small white flowers that grow from a bulb planted in the fall. Among the first flowers from bulbs to sprout, these flowers often break the soil when there is still snow on the ground in colder climates. Snowdrops can be grown indoors by forcing the bulbs to bloom indoors after allowing the bulb to cool outside. Snowdrops add a freshness to your indoor decorating that bring a little bit of spring to your home in the winter.

Amaryllis

Grown from a large bulb, the Amaryllis rises on a sturdy green stalk. The blooms are large and range in color from bright white to rich reds. Originally from South America, the Spanish name for the flower means sparkle. These gorgeous flowers will bloom throughout the winter seasons.
