22 Winter Flowers That Thrive During the Coldest Months of the Year

Honeywort: There is a fun little plant with vibrant, bluish purple flowers and leaves that change colors. Cerinthe is the grown-up name, but it is also called the Pride of Gibraltar and the blue shrimp plant. Honeywort isn't wildly popular in the U.S., but it should be. It's an annual or biannual that self-seeds freely. It has dark purple blossoms and mottled grey leaves that stand out in the garden. It likes full sun and dry, poor soil.
