Winter · November – February
Indian winter is actually the second-best growing season across most of the country. Cooler temperatures, lower pest pressure, and more consistent morning sun mean many flowering plants bloom heavily in December–February — but only if planted in October and protected from frost in north India.
Common mistake: expecting summer plants to keep going through winter. Balsams, portulaca and hibiscus wilt in cold. Replace with winter varieties (marigold, dahlia, chrysanthemum, petunia, pansy) that thrive at 8–20°C.
