I'm a weather wimp. My optimal operating temperature ranges from 58 to 78 degrees. But alas, I live in western Oregon and while we're spared the bitter cold common in many areas of the country, we do get quite cool in the winter and we can get some pretty steady winds. However, admiring winter gardens is something I adore—bundled against the cold or better yet, from the cozy comfort of my studio. So when I choose plants for myself or for clients, I take care to include plants that look good in the quiet season.
And when you are deciding
where to plant these winter stars, consider whether you can easily see them from indoors, and place them where you can appreciate them from a toasty warm vantage point.
