Gardens are places of beauty no matter the season. Even when the weather is chilly or wintry, each garden has its own specialallure: plants gilded by the slanting autumn light; fantastical shapes and contours conjured by a blanket of winter snow; and thevisible green haze of early spring plants ready to burst into bud. But bright, colorful flowers are not absent in the garden even in thecoldest months. Some plants bloom all winter in milder climates, while others thrive elsewhere despite–or because of–the cold.With the right plants, the garden can provide beautiful color all year long.
