If you are in a frost-free area, you can add a few delicate winter-blooming plants. Choose planters that are large enough for the plants to thrive. Use a light-colored planter, perhaps white or light gray, to highlight the delicate colors of the blooms. Incorporate winter-flowering bulbs like chionodoxa or winter aconite and add a few succulents or ornamental grasses. This design showcases delicate spring-like blooms in winter.
