Indian Winter flowers
When much of nature takes a break, winter blooms explode in color across India’s gardens and parks. These flowers show up only when the air gets cold. You’ll spot these winter wonders in Srinagar’s Mughal gardens, Ooty’s parks, Delhi’s Lodhi Garden, and even balconies with a touch of strategic shade. Local nurseries often carry these seeds by late autumn.
