Dahlia flowers

Dahlias are another flower that can bloom through December. These beautiful flowers are native to Mexico and South America, but surprisingly they bloom throughout the fall months! As long as the temperature doesn’t drop below 35°F, they will thrive.

Chrysanthemum

Marigolds are very hardy flowers and can withstand a wide range of climates and temperatures. They come in a variety of beautiful colors, including vibrant blues and pale pinks. The beauty of planting marigolds in late summer is that they can last into the late fall months.

Remember that they need well-drained soil to continue growing and do not like soil that is too wet.

Kale flowering

Flowering kale may seem like an unlikely plant to decorate your home with during the winter, but its bright purple and pink tones will make even your neighbors stop and take a look at your yard.

Flowering kale is easily tolerant of frost and low temperatures and will bloom when temperatures drop in late fall.

Black-eyed Susan

Black Eyed Susans are the color of sunshine, which is ironic because they love cold temperatures. These beautiful yellow flowers will even thrive in temperatures as low as -30°F and will turn your winter garden into a summer oasis.

Even when they die back, they continue to grow back year after year, making this one of the easiest flowers to care for.

Coneflower

Coneflowers come in a variety of colors including pink, purple, white, yellow, and red. These small but sturdy flowers bloom in the fall and cooler months and also like well-drained soil. Coneflowers are also loved by bees, butterflies, and many others!

catnip

Catmint is a lovely purple plant that resembles lavender (and smells just as good). It is extremely hardy and the flowers require little care in the winter.

They often grow very well in pots even in the colder months and will change from bright purple in summer and fall to lovely pale purple and grey tones in winter.
