Azalea, African Violet and Paper White Narcissus. All of them are easy to grow too. The azalea likes it cool and very moist, the flowers last a long time in those conditions and it can bloom again in the summer too.

I'd try it outside but winter here is far too cold for this azalea. If the coldest temps were 10-20 degrees warmer then I could probably get away with it but I can't even grow chinese redbud outside without it dying. You're very lucky, these are great azaleas that bloom a long time!

Yes, I know :). We have temperatures minus 10 or minus 20 few days a year, but it seems it doesn´t harm them, if they are sheltered from north and have a lot of mulch. I checked my azaleas yesterday and surprisingly they were not frozen and I must say, I saw buds already :)

Is that -10 to -20 Celsius or Fahrenheit?

Celsius :) No place for Fahrenheit in old Protestant Continent :)

Rkwright, I accidentally found, that these room-azaleas can bloom in one corner of my garden (sheltered, occluded place) so I have had them out there for 2 years and they bloom for a very long time, much longer then typical garden azaleas. Will bring the photo, when they will start.
I bought them previously as inside flowers, but they suffered and finally died in a month. Garden suits them more.
