Preparing for Winter

 

Now is a great time to start getting the winter and fall colors out into our yard.  Just because the rest of the yard goes dormant does not mean your homes curb appeal needs to.  On today’s market, there are so many options for textures and colors.  The old faithful that continues to impress year after year are pansies.  With so many color options, there is no end to your design possibilities.  Group same colors together for bigger impact.  if you have a big enough area and feel creative try planting patterns by using colors.

Other options are decorative cabbage.  These are fun and easy.  They are great for added   texture and deep true colors.  Mums are another great option but their bloom time is short lived.  Small ornamental grasses can be mixed in for textural contrast and dusty millers are a great way to great some highlight color.
