Growing Regions
Not every region is cold and snowy in January. Gardens in southern regions of the United States can often display more flower varieties through the winter than the northern ones. Determine your region's hardiness zone by referring to the map shown in the resource section.
Witch Hazel
Witch Hazel is one of the most cold-tolerant flowers, featuring spiny, yellow petals; it is pollinated during the winter months.
Spirea
The white flowers of Spirea can be seen in January gardens through hardiness zone four ( temperatures as low as -25 degrees Fahrenheit); this plant is not native to North America.
Quince
Flowering Quince features pink, red or white blooms, and grows through hardiness zone four as well. Like Spirea, it is not native to North America.
Hellebores
Bearsfoot, also known as Stinking Hellebore, can be found in January as far north as hardiness zone six, producing a green, trumpet-shaped flower said to have an unpleasant odor.
Winter Daphne
Unlike Stinking Hellebore, Winter Daphne produces a fragrant, mid-winter bloom and can tolerate temperatures as low as 0 degrees Fahrenheit.
