What can I grow that flowers in winter in the UK?
pansies and wallflowers will give you plenty of colour in winter in your garden as you can get them both in a variety of different colours. hopefully we don,t have white christmas to cover them !!!!!!
Reply:Christmas (or Winter) Box (Latin name: Sarcococca) has highly scented flowers from late December through to Early March. It's scent is amazing for the time of year. It is fully hardy and is an evergreen shrub. It comes in various sizes, I have the dwarf varriety that grows no bigger than a couple of feet high. It has shiney dark green leaves, with small white flowers!

Camellia - some species flower from November


Winter flowering jasmine - yellow flowers on bare stems


Winter flowering honeysuckle - a favorite of hummingbird moths


Sarcococca- dwarf evergreen shrub with white scented flowers


Helleborus niger - known as the Christmas Rose


Winter pansies - large flowers in lots of colors, good for containers


Snowdrops - some specialist varieties will be flowering around Christmas


dwarf Narcissi - last year I had them in flower on New Years Day


Crocus - plenty of color variety, flower earlier in pots.


Ornamental Cabbage - not really flowers, but great fun








Your best bet is to keep an eye on what local garden centres use, and ask people that live locally and have good gardens for advice, I live in the South West and there's always something to cheer me up.
Reply:Winter pansies ,cyclamen is nice just now ,Bellis ,polyanthus ,and of course the beautiful Hellabores.


If you can get hold of a yuletide camelia they flower at Christmas time.





Are you North in UK or South as for the climate.





Hope you get what you want.





You can get ideas at different times of the seaons by going to garden centres and really other gardens.





And if we get snow we all look the same .
