Enjoy your Christmas flowers outdoors! 3 frost-adorned Christmas flower arrangements
Decorate your wintry yard with your favorite Christmas flowers. Roll up some moss balls and decorate your outdoor lantern with tulips. If hyacinths make you sneeze, place them on the snow.
Icy tulips in a lantern
The most delicate outdoor decoration for Christmas comes together by combining red tulips, a string of lights, and a frosty outdoor lantern. You can also create this arrangement with a glass-free lantern. Hang the string of lights and tulips from the lantern’s ceiling, with wire, or by twisting wire string lights around the tulips.
A moss-covered fairy-tale tree
A forked branch and moss balls form a delightfully crooked Christmas tree. Saw the branch’s forks to the desired length. You can whittle the end of the branch to make it sharper, so the moss ball sticks to it better. Secure the branch firmly in a pot, then shape different-sized balls from chicken wire for each branch tip. Cover the balls with moss using thin wire. Press the ball firmly onto the branch tip and fasten it with wire. Add small tufts of moss for vibrant Christmas ornaments. Finally, cover the pot’s surface with chicken wire and top it with moss.
Little spruces & ice hyacinths
Create a festive mood to welcome your holiday guests at the gate. Flowers nearing the end of their bloom, such as hyacinths, are perfect for yard decorations. The flowers freeze and keep their lovely shape until they thaw. Battery-powered outdoor lights add atmosphere to your mini spruce arrangement. It’s a delightful way to enjoy hyacinths even if their strong fragrance bothers you!
Place the small spruces in a frost-resistant outdoor pot well before the soil freezes. Add hyacinths at the base of the spruces in the snow—a lovely pop of color amid all the white! The arrangement stays beautiful if you occasionally brush off excess snow.
