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!

What about potato (lime green) and sweet potato (deep burgundy) plants?

FYI -- You, too, can become a Master Gardner -- classes start in January in Defuniak Springs.

mmm.... no, but I can get it for you. I believe they meet on Thursdays for a few months, and cost is maybe $95, which covers your books. I'll see what I can find for you and report back.

There are many native colored plants that will continue through the winter.

Pansies are very cheerful too!
