The Winter Bloomers from my Oak Hill Garden
 The Winter Bloomers from my Oak Hill Garden
As an avid gardener, I always want SOMETHING to be blooming year round.  During the colder winter months that is easier said than done.  I’m not the type of gardener to plant seedlings and put them in a greenhouse type of environment.  I am more the type that throws seeds into the garden in the spring and hope that something takes.

But there are some trusty perennials and shrubs that WILL bloom during these cold months.  I’ll go over some of them here and feel free to add others in the comments section if you like!
As far as perennials go, there are always the trusty hellebores, commonly known as the Lenten Rose.  From white to black and all shades in between, they are solid bloomers from around the middle of January through March.  Their flowers seem to last forever and beckon me to come outside and get a sneak peak at what is to come.

Another nice perennial is the Christmas fern, Polystichum acristichoides.  There aren’t any blooms per se but these hardy evergreen ferns don’t back down due to colder temperatures!
