7 Flowers To Grow Right Now That Will Last Until December

We all know that it’s pretty hard to maintain a flourishing garden and yard in the hot summer months. But of course, some outliers do bloom amongst the sunshine and continue to grow throughout the fall and winter months.

Read on to see what plants to grow now that will last until December.

Pansies

Pansies are a beautiful flower that you can typically plant in the late summer or early fall. They tend to like partial sun and partial shade, and don’t appreciate too much warmth.

This is why they are the perfect flower to plant if you want to have a yard full of blooms in the winter. These beauties flourish in 40°F to 60°F temperatures and will add a ton of pops of color to your garden.

Dahlias

Dahlias are another kind of flower that should last until December. These pretty blooms originate from Mexico and South America, but surprisingly last throughout the fall months! As long as the temps don’t go below 35°F, they will still be looking strong.

Aster

Asters are very tough cookies and will be able to withstand a lot of different climates and temperatures. They come in a variety of gorgeous colors like vivid blues and pastel pinks. The beauty of growing asters in the late summer is that they will likely last until the late months of fall.

Keep in mind that they need well-drained soil to continue to flourish and they don’t agree with soil that is too wet.

Flowering Kale

Flowering Kale may seem like an unconventional plant to decorate your home in the winter, but its bright purple and pink tones will make even your neighbors stop and stare at your yard.

Flowering kale easily tolerates frost and lower temperatures and should be blooming as the temperatures drop further in the late fall.

Black Eyed Susans

Black Eyed Susans are the color of sunshine which is ironic because they love the cold temperatures. These golden beauties will even thrive in temperatures as low as -30°F and will transform your wintertime garden into a summertime oasis.

Even after they wither away, they will continue to return year after year, making this one of the easiest flowers to deal with.

Coneflowers

Coneflowers come in a rainbow of different colors like pink, purple, white, yellow, and red. This tiny but mighty flower will bloom well into the fall and cooler months and love well-drained soil too. Coneflowers are also beloved by bees, butterflies, and more!

Catmint

Catmint is a lovely purple-colored plant that resembles lavender (and smells just as good). This plant is extremely tough and the blooms don’t need much maintenance in the wintertime.

They usually perform very well in pots even in the colder months and will evolve from a bright purple color in the summer and fall, into a lovely light purple and gray tone over the winter.
