For many gardeners, winter is simply a season to endure while planning for the coming spring. The rich floral splendor they’ve enjoyed has given way to dull browns and grays tipped by lonely snow-capped branches. But that doesn’t have to be: there are so many easy and inexpensive ways to add real winter interest to any garden. Two hundred color photographs show the diverse possibilities, along with site-specific design plans. There are suggestions for selecting and caring for a broad assortment of flowers, grasses, shrubs, and trees that boast dramatic winter flair, plus professional choices for cold-hardy container plants. Smart tips include using colored stones, adding bronze and wood accents, and maximizing the effect of winter light on plants.
