A surprising array of flowers can be found in late winter even in the coldest parts of the country. From Alstromeria to zinnias, the range of colors can provide a stimulating counterpoint to the gray of February.
Identification
While growing seasons vary across the country, the following plants can generally be found in bloom in February: daffodils, tulips, holly berry, lilies, Queen Anne's lace, irises, pansies, primrose, snapdragons, Mediterranean white heath, zinnias, Alstromeria, winter jasmine and henbit.
Parts of the Country
While some plants, such as pansies and snapdragons, are found in all parts of the country, others are limited to certain Plant Hardiness Zones. For example, daffodils can be grown in zones 4 to 8; Queen Anne's lace, irises and tulips in zones 3 to 9; zinnias and lilies in zones 3 to 10; primrose in zones 5 to 10; zinnias, holly berry, henbit and Mediterranean white heath in zones 6 to 8; and Alstromeria and winter jasmine in zones 6 to 10.
Purpose of Late-Winter Blooms
In many parts of the country, late-winter blooms provide food for the first bees and caterpillars of the year.
Considerations
Plant winter and early-spring bloomers in the fall. This will allow the bulbs or shoots time to settle and, in colder climates, take in the snow melt.
Timing
Plant both late-winter bloomers and summer bloomers in the same flower bed for continuous color.
