Plants suitable for winter

Cold and frost resistant plants

LIST OF PLANTS SUITABLE FOR WINTER

The following plants are ideal for winter. Some are ideal for very cold climates or those climates where frost can occur, since they resist frost well and bring joy to the garden by producing flowers, colorful leaves or very showy fruits.

Other plants, although not as resistant, can protect themselves.

We also point out those that flower in winter, but must be kept indoors, since they cannot withstand the cold.
