As we lean into the ups and downs of late-winter temperatures, there always seems to be a dead space between seasons, when the landscape looks especially brown and bare, and we ache to see something in bloom. If you don't have any of the plants shown in the following pages, you may want to consider adding them to your shopping list. Next year, late winter in your landscape could be a riot of color and rebirth. Here, hellebores are in their element in winter when little else is in bloom. Depending on the variety, hellebores bloom anywhere from December to mid March.
