It’s an evergreen perennial that blooms fall, winter or early spring and comes in an array of colors
Pansies violas
Annual color – choose from many different colors
Camellias
The jewels of the winter garden
Try Yuletide, Apple Blossom and Setsugekka for beautiful blooms
Chopping Time
Cut back faded perennials for the winter

Add fresh garland, trees, lights and wreaths
In the House
Time for Bulb Forcing
Around mid-November, plant paperwhite or amaryllis bulbs
Poinsettias for the Holidays

For the Lawn
Keep It Green
For a green lawn all winter, overseed Bermuda or Zoysia lawns with annual Ryegrass now
Reseed Fescue lawn
If you haven’t reseeded your fescue lawn, now is your last chance
For the Birds
Put up Suet Feeders
Suet provides birds with high energy – just what they need in the winter months
Share Your Thanksgiving Feast
Place fresh cranberries and unsalted nuts in an open feeder as a special Thanksgiving treat
