As the weather grows colder, many flowers fear the frost and must be moved indoors. However, some flowers are naturally not afraid of the cold and can tolerate low temperatures.

Some flowers require a low-temperature environment to produce beautiful blooms. Here are some flowers that thrive in the cold:

1. Waxberry

This flower can grow normally even at temperatures as low as minus 15 degrees Celsius. It is known for its ability to defy the cold and bloom alone and has been praised in literature for centuries. Plum blossoms, including those of the waxberry, can bloom in the snowy winter.

2. Peony

This flower is particularly hardy, with a low temperature of about minus 15 degrees Celsius being no problem. Some varieties can even grow at temperatures as low as minus 20 to 30 degrees Celsius. For peonies to bloom, they must undergo a period of low-temperature vernalization.

3. Paeonia

Although similar to peonies, these flowers are from different families and have fundamental differences. Peony is a herbaceous plant, while Paeonia is a small shrub plant. In winter, peonies leave bare branches without leaves on the ground, while Paeonia withers in the ground, leaving only some rhizomes in the soil which will sprout only in the spring.

Both must experience low temperatures of about minus 10 to 20 degrees Celsius for a month to more than 40 days before vernalization is completed.

4. Tulip

These seed ball flowers are relatively hardy, with temperatures as low as minus 30 or even 35 degrees Celsius not affecting them much. After the summer heat, the ground branches, leaves, and flowers will wither, but the seed ball in the soil is still alive.

At this time, you can dig out the seed ball, put it in a cool storage place, or wrap it in newspaper and put it in the refrigerator to freeze. In the fall, when the weather cools down, plant it again.

5. Pansy

These flowers can tolerate low temperatures of minus 5 degrees Celsius and light frost for a short time, but they do not tolerate high temperatures. Pansies look similar to hornbeam, but the flowers of pansies are much larger.

6. Collard greens

These are often used as greenery in northern green belts precisely because of their high hardiness. They can tolerate temperatures as low as minus 10 degrees Celsius, no matter if it's snowing or frosting. The more it freezes, the more beautiful it becomes.

7. Hollyhock

This flower can withstand low temperatures of around minus 10 degrees Celsius. In winter, the above-ground part will completely wither, but the underground rhizome is still alive, and new shoots will come out in the spring of the second year.

8. Saffron

This common spice and medicinal herb can withstand low temperatures of about minus 10 degrees Celsius and can even bloom in the snow. Its fragrance is very nice, and it can help remove odor when kept indoors or on the balcony.

Overall, these flowers are excellent choices for those who want to enjoy beautiful blooms even in the coldest weather.
