Fall & Winter Plants

I'm looking for some ideas on what to plant for the fall and winter in front of my house. Last year, I did pansies and they did very well.

Any other small flowering plants that I could do this year? I'll only plant around 5 across. It's a narrow area, like 2' x 10'.

Just checking out my options. I'll be planting sometime in the next two or three weeks. Last year, I planted over thanksgiving holidays.

Sometimes my mother and I swap plants. I may see what she has, too.

Mums, now that would look pretty cool.

Hellebore( also known as christmas roses)can be planted in the beginning of fall for blooming in the winter and early spring.
Pansys come in all colors and make a wonderful winter bloomer.
Decorative cabbage and Kale are also very interesting.
Hope that helps.
