Florida Cold Hardy Flowers, Plants and Shrubs
Here is my list of Cold Hardy Small Plants and Shrubs that can take temperatures to at least 28-degrees F. that range from small to medium in size. Always check for the characteristics of each type, such as light and soil requirements before purchasing and installing.
Also listed are Bedding Plants that are cold hardy for Florida. I do recommend covering them during a freeze 32 degrees F. or below, and extreme windy conditions. Also check for light and soil requirements for each type of flowering plants.
