3. Brassica oleracea

4. Weihnachtsblume

Der in Mexiko und Mittelamerika heimische Strauch ist weltweit zu einem Winterklassiker geworden. Während der kalten Jahreszeit werden die die gelben Blüten umgebenden Deckblätter rot (natürliche Varianten können auch rosa oder weiß sein), was das Aussehen großer Blütenblätter ergibt. Um sie in einem optimalen Zustand zu halten, sollte die Osterblume im Haus, neben einem Fenster und bei einer warmen Temperatur bleiben.

5. Geranie

Geranienblüten mögen zart erscheinen, aber sie sind tatsächlich in der Lage, der Kälte des Winters standzuhalten.

Du kannst deine Geranie in einen Topf oder direkt in den Boden stellen.

6. Hydrangea
