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.

we always do a fall swap with our perennials around here....everyone takes 3-4 plants out in the fall to trade with others ..we have about 7 families who do this and its fun and a cheap way to get new plants!!!! ever try this with others? only thing in the fall that makes it around my house are mums and decorative cabbages LOL ....I have a ton of plants I can share in the spring with you though!!!!!

Nice thing to do. I won't be planting any fall/winter outside plants where I live. too bad.

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

Mums, now that would look pretty cool.

I would say use some water lettuce.....

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.
