7 Plants You Should Grow In October For Winter Color and Ravishing Blooms

A backyard with lots of green shrubs .

Let’s face it, gardening in winter isn’t everyone's idea of a good time. The wind is kicking up, the rain is having its moment, and the cold is starting to bite at your hands. For most of us, those balmy summer days are long gone.

If you want our advice, this is the time of year to start container gardening and create designs that will last all winter long on your balcony or patio and save hours of ongoing maintenance. No more worrying about deadheading or waiting for flowers to emerge. With these plants, you can create a sensational potted plant design that will immediately look great and — even better — stay looking great well into January, too.
