Luckily, nature has some surprises. Here a list of the most important plants suitable for the garden that give your garden or balcony an awesome blush in winter times.

Are there more flowers as spectacular as pansies that also flower when other plants rather do something like hibernating? Not many, so I would just go for pansies this year again? Both available in autumn and in spring and so many, many colors and variations.
