Hardy shrubs that bloom in winter are a wonderful investment, performing year after year to cheer the dark, gloomy, winter days. Winter flowers can be a lifeline for bees and other pollinators during mild spells, and most of the plants on our list are pollinator friendly. Some have a compact growing habit and are perfect for pots to brighten patios and soil-less spots, while others grow large and need to be sited in garden borders or as single specimens.
