Winter wonders: Discover succulents that bloom in the cold season

There are many variations of succulent plants. So many succulents bloom over the winter season, continuing to keep your garden vibrant. These inflorescence blooms will begin around the end of May and can continue blooming all the way through to July when winter begins to subside.

Kalanchoe Eriophylla succulents

Also known as the Snow White succulents. These small succulents can grow up to 10cm in height just the right size for smaller gardens. The flowering stems begin to show mid-winter but can sometimes take quite some time to bloom fully. You can also expect full blooms closer to the end of winter. They are a great contrast in any potted arrangement of gardens. Snow whites are another hairy succulent variation. The hairs on the succulents make the leaves appear more silver-toned. This is why they are known as Snow Whites.

Cobweb Succulents

Another intriguing variety of winter succulents is the cobweb succulents. They are cold-hardy succulents that tolerate mild or colder climates. Cobweb succulents form many prominent hair-like filaments that crisscross around the top of the leaves, making a spider web effect. These hair-like webs are adaptations to the hardy, cold climate they live in. The webs help prevent frost and icy crystals from forming on the plant’s leaves. Dramatic but adaptable.

Crassula Perforata

Crassula succulents are winter active succulents. It is important you repot them in warmer months so they are settled in for winter. They produce gorgeous, tiny white flowers in late winter, just before winter subsides. Grown and re-potted well, these succulents can be prolific growers with flat, button-like leaves. You can grow them as a ground cover in frost-prone areas, but they also work fantastically from a hanging basket. These soft succulents will not survive hard freezing temperatures, but will survive mild winter temperatures.

Growing succulents does not have to be demanding if you can provide the plants with the necessary moderate amount of light, and some winter variations need.
