This is our selection of plants that can stand some cold. Some will only resist to cool weather and light frost, but some others will take hard frost in colder climates. They are all very different but they deserve to be tried because all these tropical-looking plants have non tropical requirements. They will surely thrive outdoors in coastal Mediterranean climates or in a mildly heated greenhouse where frost does not occur.
Ipheion uniflorum is a free-blooming evergreen bulb from Argentina and Uruguay, with leaves smelling like garlic.
Blue Pfitzer Juniper is an outstanding ornamental shrub. It is a dwarf plant and it can be pruned as a ground cover.

It is an old hybrid obtained by crossing Juniperus chinensis with Juniperus sabina.

The "cold-hardy" lychee tree. This Chinese lychee variety produces fruits in cooler locations and and fruits very late, in mid-summer. Fruits are greenish-pink and quality is very good.

It is really hardy to frost: it stood -13 C in North...
