Perennials with Winter Flowers

N COOL-TEMPERATE CLIMATES, where winter brings most growth to a standstill, the appearance of any plant in flower is always a surprise. However, certain perennials, including many bulbs, bloom in winter despite the hostile conditions. Those suggested here will provide interest at a time when other herbaceous plants have died down or lost their leaves.

Plant this aconite in quantity to encourage large drifts. Its cup-shaped, bright yellow flowers are a cheery sight above the ruffs of toothed leaves in winter and spring.
