It’s cold outside and our gardens and balconies have lost their bloom. For many garden flowers and plants, this is the absolute rest period. But the gardeners are considering their new planting strategies. That is why we want to help all flower lovers today and show some hardy garden flowers that can overwinter outside in the cold. In principle, it is about popular hardy perennials that serve as great eye-catchers in every garden.

The sedum plant with its fleshy, rounded or stacked leaves is particularly adaptable and hardy

Do you need a sturdy creeper? Or how about a colorful, carpet-forming plant on the edge of the garden? Look no further, because we have something suitable for you: Sedum (sedum). The sedum plant is a typical member of the thick-leaf family. The great sedum plant is also widespread in Germany. It has fleshy, rounded to stack-shaped leaves. These are rough and stormy garden plants, they survive both hot summers and cold winters. Seducers are also drought tolerant and grow well on stony to sandy soils. That said, they’re ideal if you live in a region with little rainfall, or if you hate any irrigation at all. The fatty hens are very long-lived. They do very well if you keep them short. Therefore, do not fertilize often and do not water very abundantly. This way you will have the sedum plants in the garden for a long time.

Peony

The peonies adorn our gardens with beautiful flowers in pink, red and wine red

Aside from being beautiful garden plants, peonies are tough enough to calmly survive the coldest winter. At the first signs of warm spring weather, their growth in the garden begins. The peonies come in a variety of flower shapes and colors and show their bloom in late May and early June.
