Hello all you master gardeners out there.
We have a need to have some color and/or blooming plants in planters in front of our little house at the beginning of January. Is there any plant that can survive the cold for a short period of time outside at the beginning of January in SoWal? (X on artificial, I know someone was itching to post that, so thought I'd pre-empt. 😀)
Any help appreciated!
