Winter is near, and no matter where you live, things are going to cool down. But despite the harsh weather, you can still enjoy gorgeous flowers all season long!
Don’t let the browning leaves and barren trees get you down. There are plenty of affordable seeds you can buy right now that will grow into a colorful and happy garden this winter.
Pansy
Pansies are great in the winter because they bloom for a long time and come in a wide variety of colors. As a bonus, they’re also inexpensive and easy to find at local big box stores.
Pieris Japonica
This is a slightly more expensive purchase, but it’s all worth it when you see the buds absolutely thrive in cool weather. The blooms will develop in late fall, but they won’t open until the end of winter and early spring. The result is a gorgeous bloom of coppery-pink flowers.
Kaffir Lily
The Kaffir Lily is more affordable compared to the Pieris Japonica. You’re going to get a lot of beauty for your buck. The Kaffir Lily also does best in temperate climates; it does not like the frost. In cool weather, you’ll end up with a gorgeous red bloom and tall stalks.
