17.11.2023 - 01:27 / southernliving.com / Kim Toscano
Not all plants sleep through the winter months. Cool season annuals thrive when the temperature drops. Annuals are inexpensive, providing an easy way to add months of color to the garden. As summer blooms fade, give your garden a face lift with these cool season annuals for winter gardens.
Many of the plants on this list are hardy in northern climates as well, but southern gardeners have more options when it comes to winter color. As noted, the same plant may be used quite differently from one region to the next. Get to know your local hardiness zone and typical winter conditions to help you select the best cool season annuals for your winter garden.
01 of 12 Pansy- Botanical Name: Viola x wittrockiana
- Sun Exposure: Full Sun to Part Shade
- Soil Type: Moist, Well-draining, Rich
- Soil pH: Acidic to Neutral (5.5-7.0)
Pansies are quintessential winter flowers, blooming in a range of colors with many bi-color varieties available. Plant them in fall after the heat of summer wanes and enjoy flowers for up to six months. Though a true perennial, pansies are grown as an annual because they wither in the summer heat. Mass them along walkways and outside windows where their color will brighten the winter landscape.
