When the cold winter arrives, most flowers wither in the low temperature. However, there are some potted flowers that can stand firm in the frost and snow, adding a touch of gorgeous color to the bleak winter days. Here are eight recommended potted flowers that are not afraid of the cold.

**Wintersweet**

Wintersweet is one of the representative flowers in winter. Its flowers are small and exquisite, mostly yellow, and the petals have a waxy texture. It blooms alone in the coldest months of the year, emitting a delicate and elegant fragrance. Wintersweet is very cold-resistant and can grow in a low-temperature environment around minus 15 °C. It prefers a sunny environment and doesn't have high requirements for the soil, but loose, fertile and well-drained soil is more suitable. When taking care of it, pay attention to controlling the watering frequency and keep the soil slightly moist to avoid waterlogging that may lead to root rot.

**Camellia**

There are numerous varieties of camellia with rich flower shapes, including single-petal, double-petal and other forms. The colors of its flowers are bright, including red, pink, white and so on. Camellia can tolerate the low temperature around minus 8 °C. It is suitable to grow in a semi-shaded environment. In summer, it needs appropriate shading, while in winter, it can receive sufficient sunlight. Camellia prefers acidic soil. During the maintenance process, it is necessary to apply acidic fertilizers regularly, such as ferrous sulfate, to maintain the acidity of the soil and promote the growth and flowering of the plants.

**Cymbidium faberi**

Cymbidium faberi is a cold-resistant variety among orchids. Its flower stems are upright and the flowers are lush. The colors of its flowers include yellow-green, emerald green and so on. Cymbidium faberi can endure the cold around minus 7 °C. When taking care of Cymbidium faberi, use loose, breathable and well-drained planting materials, such such as a mixture of bark and orchid stones. Cymbidium faberi likes a humid environment but can't tolerate waterlogging. When watering, follow the principle of "watering when the soil is dry and stopping when it's wet". Meanwhile, it has relatively high requirements for air humidity, and the air humidity can be increased by spraying water and other methods.
