Introduction
Winter can be dreary. It’s cold, it’s wet, and it seems like the sun hasn’t come out in a thousand years. If you’re feeling sad and lonely, try bringing home some flowers! Not only will they brighten your home, but they will also remind you that spring is on its way.
In this blog post, we’ll discuss six of the top winter flowers for any home. Let’s get started!
Amaryllis
The warmest, most beautiful flowers of the winter come from tropical lands. Amaryllis is a bulb that blooms in the winter, with bright red and pink flowers that look like they came straight out of a tropical paradise. The plant itself is pretty easy to care for; you just need to make sure it gets plenty of sunlight and water every week or so. If you want to make sure your amaryllis stays healthy, choose one that has already been started indoors before planting it outside in early fall (or purchase one at your local flower shop).
Bells of Ireland
Bells of Ireland (Moluccella laevis) is one of the most beautiful winter flowers you can grow. It’s also known as Irish Bellflower or Bluebells, and it produces a tall stem with showy clusters of flowers that look like tiny bells. The name “Bells of Ireland” comes from their resemblance to an Irish coin and their blue color, which resembles the blue uniforms worn by soldiers in Ireland during the 1700s and 1800s.
Bellflowers require full sun but prefer cool weather conditions once established in early spring temperatures above 60 degrees Fahrenheit (16 Celsius). They need well-drained soil with adequate nutrients for healthy growth.
These hardy perennials are quick growers with few pests or diseases when planted in well-drained soil with adequate water throughout summer months if your area remains dry during those growing seasons.
Bellflowers do not require much maintenance after initial planting except occasional watering when needed until established within first two years following initial planting date; however, they will perform better when given supplemental fertilizer every third year after establishment date while also adding mulch around base of plant annually so that moisture stays near roots rather than evaporating through surface area.”
Camellias
Camellias are a popular winter flower. They are available in many different colors and sizes and make an elegant addition to any room.
Camellia is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the tea family Theaceae. The majority of the species are shrubs from evergreen to semi-evergreen types, but some are deciduous or laticiferous trees such as Camellia sinensis, whose leaves and buds are used to produce tea.They have simple leaves with an entire margin (no teeth), large flowers that come in a variety of colors and bloom at various times throughout the year, depending on the type you decide on buying! It can be used for weddings – It’s very easy to care for them once you get them home too!
Forsythia
Forsythia is a shrub that blooms in spring. The flowers are bright yellow, long-lasting and popular for decorating. If you are looking for a flower that will brighten up your winter days, this flower is the perfect choice!
Hellebore
Hellebores are winter-flowering perennials that grow in USDA zones 4 to 9. They are native to Europe and Asia, but can be easily grown in gardens across the U.S. Hellebores are shade-tolerant and grow best in moist soil with dappled or partial sunlight. Hellebore flowers come in shades of white, yellow and pink, which makes them a popular choice for container gardening during the colder months of the year!
Grape Hyacinth
One of the most popular winter flowers is grape hyacinth, which is a perennial flower that grows up to 8 inches tall. Grape hyacinth has blue, purple or white flowers and can be found in many different colors.
Grape hyacinths grow in spring and summer but also bloom during the winter months. They are a bulb flower, which means they will re-sprout next year if you leave their bulbs in the ground after they have died back during winter time.
