As the festive glow of the holidays fades and we settle into the heart of winter here at the flower shop, January can sometimes feel a little bleak. The days are short, the temperatures are frosty, and the (sometimes) snow-covered streets can start to feel less than magical. But we believe there’s no better way to beat the winter blues than with the uplifting presence of fresh flowers and vibrant houseplants.
At Oleander, we’re all about bringing joy to your home and life, even in the chilliest months. Here are some of our favourite winter-blooming flowers and houseplants that are sure to add a burst of colour and life to any space:
1. Amaryllis: A Bold Pop of Colour
Amaryllis is a winter favourite, celebrated for its dramatic, trumpet-shaped blooms in shades of red, pink, white, and even striped varieties. These stunning flowers are perfect for making a statement and are surprisingly easy to care for. Place them in a sunny spot and enjoy their flowers for weeks.
2. Peace Lilies: Serenity and Elegance
If you’re looking for a plant that’s as calming as it is beautiful, the peace lily is a perfect choice. Its glossy green leaves and striking white blooms add a touch of elegance to any room. Known for their air-purifying qualities, peace lilies thrive in indirect light and are easy to care for, making them a wonderful addition to your winter wellness routine.
3. Orchids: Grace and Sophistication
Orchids bring an air of sophistication and timeless beauty. These exotic flowers are available in a variety of colours, from classic white and soft pastels to vibrant purples and yellows. With just a bit of care—indirect light, moderate watering, and the right humidity—orchids can bloom for months, lifting your spirits through the heart of winter.
Research shows that flowers and plants can improve mood, boost creativity, and even enhance indoor air quality. During the winter months, when we spend more time indoors, surrounding ourselves with nature’s beauty can make a significant difference to how we feel. Flowers remind us that growth and renewal are always possible, even in the coldest of seasons.
We’re committed to helping our local community embrace the beauty of every season. So, whether you’re looking for a dazzling arrangement, a plant for your desk, or the perfect gift for someone special, we have a wide selection of fresh flowers and houseplants to choose from. Our expert florists are here to help you find the perfect blooms to suit your needs.
