What are good winter plants, flowers for my garden ?
There are loads of flowered and berried plants to choose from but do remember that most bulbs are poisonous if eaten by humans and domestic pets. Forsythias (yellow %26amp; white varieties), Lonicera Frangrantissima, Sarococca Hookeriana 'Purple Stem', Skimmia Japonica (need male and female for berries), Viburnums (lots of Winter flowering varieties - Farreri %26amp; Tinus), Clematis Cirrhosa, Daphne Mezereum %26amp; Odora, Erica Carnea, Rhododendron 'Christmas Cheer', Berberis x Ottawensis, Camellia Sasanqua, Cotoneasters, Hollies (Females), Hamamelis (witch hazel), Bergenias, Mahonias %26amp; Calluna. Plus the winter flowering bedding like primroses, polyanthus, wallflowers, violas - your local nursery will carry all sorts. Good luck :-))
Reply:In a colder climate, pansies are the way to go. They love the cool weather and will last until next spring. You can also plant ornamental cabbage. I have never planted the cabbage myself, but they look absolutely beautiful. I do plant pansies every winter and then replace them in the spring with petunias.
Reply:wallflowers for colour and scent


primroses and pansy
Reply:Magnolias and roses(kind of tough for winter) are the best kind of garden flowers..
Reply:Pansies are always great for winter color and blooms.
Reply:Roses or any type of bush, winter jasmine, snowberries, honeysuckles, hazels, berries, crocuses, snowdrops and so on. have fun gardening! :D

Reply:You might want to consult a garden catalogue, try to find one that gives hardiness zones, and pick the ones that are suitable for your area.





A better alternative might be to look for nice small shrubs, which have interesting leaves, berries, or even colorful bark during the winter. Sounds like a fun project!
Reply:I think I can help you. I need to know the region that you live in.You can also get great assistance by visiting the local nurseries in your area and asking them for advise. See what they have growing and ask questions about plants and flowers for your area. If you are located in an area where it is cold and snows your choices will be greatly limited. I recommend nurseries over the large retail stores that have plants because most of the time the personnel working there have almost no background in Horticulture and are not very knowledgeable. If I know what area of the country/world you are in I can possibly be of help.
