Reply:Pansies will bloom throughout the fall and winter. They come in all colors. They're not beautiful, but they are pretty.
Reply:Crocus. Tulips. Anything artificial.
Reply:There are plenty of perennials that survive the winter and rebloom in the spring. crocuses, for example, will actually sprout and bloom while there is snow in the ground, usually in late feb to late march, depending on where you live. There are certain arctic plants that flower, but the summers in most of the U.S. would be too hot for them to survive. Go for bulbs, because they are extremely diverse, and will give you a welcome burst of color early in the spring. Daffodils, tulips, hyacinths, and dutch irises are good choices. Easy to grow, hardy, cheap, and prettty.

Reply:it's called a snowdrop





was recently doing the poem in school lol
Reply:There are several perenials (come back every year) that would be good choices. I have roses that the previous owner of our home couldn't kill. They are beautiful. It really depends where you live and how harsh your winters are. I would call a local greenhouse and find out what zone you are in and what plants are good for your zone. Good luck and God bless.
Reply:I know that pansies grow in winter.

Reply:I don't want to recommend anything since I don't know what Zone you are living, so the best thing you can do is buy a book on Perennials. Mark all in the book that is recommended for your Zone.





My book had been purchased 10+ years ago and is still my first choice to look through for any new landscaping job I plan whether it is for ground cover in shade, tree, shrub or flowers including when they bloom, for how long %26amp; how tall. There are many beautiful flowers that live through even Zone 3; there is even a flower that blooms through the snow.
Reply:There's lots of snow here and when I look outside I see blooming idiots!





Seriously, In Yosemite I used to see 'Snow Plants'. They have a red flower.
Reply:I know a rose can, they like the cold.
