10. Winter Blossoms
Flowers that bloom when the rest of the garden is quiet in winter can have an uplifting effect in the landscape and in containers. Camellias (Camellia spp.), as seen in this photo uploaded by Le jardinet, can be reliable winter container options in regions with mild climates. Most camellias fall into zones 7 to 9, while some are hardy to Zone 6.
Other winter-flowering container plants to consider in warm areas include winter daphne (Daphne odora, zones 7 to 9), winter skimmia (Skimmia japonica, zones 6 to 9), hellebore (Helleborus spp., zones 4 to 9) and cool-season annuals such as pansy (Viola spp., winter-hardy in zones 7 to 11) and florist’s cyclamen (Cyclamen persicum, zones 9 to 11).
