Are there any flower I can plant this fall to give my garden color through the winter?

Petunias %26amp; Pansies will do well
Reply:I don't think there are any "flowers" that produce in snow. There are some that will bloom when its cold and keep their blossoms, but the ones I know of don't have much color. However if you have "snow" most of them will be covered up. For interest there is red stick dogwood, not much in the flower show but the red sticks look red in the winter. Holly stays green and many types have lots of red berries during the winter, and of course evergreens of all sorts. I think Lake Tahoe is fairly cold, if you are in a micro climatic area, that only gets cold but not freezing, primroses, pansies, mums and many bulbs will give you color. Bulbs of course depend a lot on the length of light you get. Flowers and winter cold usually don't mix well, and snow covers lots so artificial may work well if you want the illusion of colorful blossoms.
Reply:I am the manager at a nursery and the best fall crops are pansies, snap dragons, and kale.



The pansies come in lots of colors and do really well, if it snows they are okay. Snaps are usually considered a spring plant however if you plant them in the fall you will have some color but when spring comes around they will be gorgeous! Lots of blooms. Kale is also very pretty, I enjoy the red. The leaves are red and then the colder it gets the more colors it gets in the middle.



hope this helped!
Reply:Pansies. There are many color varieties and when planted in mass can give off a good showing of color. They will be hardy through the winter as well. When planting, throw in a handful of bone meal and blood meal mixed together into each plant hole. Pansies love this food combo.
Reply:Hi, I just saw this question and I'd like to know the same thing.



One idea I do have though is to buy fake pot of flowers and such and put them outside too. Good luck and take care.
