Winter Gardening in North Carolina

February 28, 2022

Find Out Which Plants & Flowers Can Withstand the Cold Months

 While you may look forward to the peak of spring gardening, you can still continue your favorite hobby through the winter months. Here in North Carolina, winter gardening is not only possible but fruitful and exciting as well! All it takes to have a flourishing winter garden is the right selection of seasonal plants, careful maintenance, and the willingness to try something a little different!


Some of the hardiest flower varieties to plant in the winter are likely very familiar to you already. Bedding plants such as pansies and violas make for beautiful additions to any winter garden and will even thrive during the frosty months we experience in Winston-Salem, NC. With a wide variety of beautiful shades, these flowers also bring a welcomed pop of color.


Another variety called “little bulbs” is also capable of surviving cold temperatures. Little bulbs can even grow to impressive sizes as the weeks get colder. Snowdrops and hardy cyclamen are some of the most common little bulbs to plant for those with average-sized home gardens. Another classic perennial flower is the Christmas rose, which can bloom in winter or in the spring months.


Other sturdy and beautiful winter options include winter jasmine, primroses, sweet alyssum, and winter iris. If you want to give your plants extra protection against the cold or frost, you may want to explore row covers that keep chilly precipitation out and help retain moisture in the soil. You can even grow delicious and healthy vegetable plants during the winter. Kale, lettuce, spinach, carrots, beets, collard greens, and turnips can all thrive in a North Carolina winter garden.
