Anyone who says winter is devoid of color in the backyard needs to come and see my patio plants in January. For me, when so much of the garden is in hibernation, it’s more important than ever to create a little bit of color and life outside.
Now is the time to think ahead and opt for some of the best container plants that will bloom by Christmas. In some climates with particularly long and harsh winters, you may have to bring pots indoors, or rely on houseplants for the best winter flowers, but where there is a will, gardening friends, there is always a way.
