Gardening has always been an art. When it is winter, there are also plenty of plants that you can grow in your garden. In case you want to plant in the winter, here are some species that are very proper for cold weather gardening. The camellias are one of these plants.

They enjoy cool climate and can be grown very well, even in the coldest months of the year. Recently camellias are considered as not very fashionable plants, but if you want to add some white and red blossoms during the winter, go for them. The camellia sasanqua requires just well-drained soil and in the early spring you will see its colorful blooms.

The hellebores are also good plants for cold weather gardening. They are not very common, when it comes to landscaping, but their winter roses are popular for being attractive and strong scented. Hellebores come with huge foliage and weatherproof flowers. Even the snow and the frost can’t cause any effect over the plant.

The helleborus corsicus has long soft green leaves and pale green flowers with interesting marring tinges.
