Winter pots are useful as great color for the dreary days of January & February. I used red-twig, dried miscanthus flowers, red & orange winterberry, inkberry greens, leyland cypress greens, Dr. Kassab holly, japanese holly. I stuck all of these branches in the soil in the pot. Once that was done, I settled pots of winter kale in amongst the branches for a splash of color. In some pots I added lamb's ear for a silvery effect. In the main pot, I actually planted a clump birch tree and limbed it up so the papery bark could be seen as "winter interest". Then I added evergreen & deciduous branches all around. Take a peek at the pictures I took. Let me know what you think. Happy Holidays!!
