One of the great things about gardening is the change of seasons. As winter approaches I find myself thinking about old favorites like Paperbark maple, Acer griseum with its glistening cinnamon bark; Stewartia pseudocamellia, its trunk a patchwork of colors; and Winter Sweet, Chimonanthus praecox with its delightful fragrant flowers. Of the shrubby dogwoods I am drawn to, Cornus "Winter Flame" gets my vote this season, especially against a backdrop of conifers. Other plants I look forward to sniffing include Japanese Flowering Apricot, Prunus mume and Winter Daphne, Daphne odora, each offering its own unique perfume. Hollies, both deciduous and evergreen types, are also noteworthy for handsome foliage and colorful fruit. And conifers that play a secondary role the rest of the year suddenly become key players too. While many of these winter beauties require time and space before they come into their own, you can easily create winter gardens in pots that promise to please immediately. Charming and cheerful, pansies or violas (my preference) are a no-brainer. The range of colors available makes it hard to choose a favorite, so I grow a number of different selections. I like to group pots together for the best impact. In some pots I grow violas with snapdragons and in others I grow conifers and even ornamental grasses and sedges like Carex testacea.
