I was running down the Custis Trail yesterday and saw all this Winter Jasmine hanging along the retaining wall- lovely! Native to China, this is a wonderful early winter bloomer, suggestive of forsythia to come a little later.
GREEN BLESSING
I felt like I was receiving a blessing when I passed this Georgetown home! What a gorgeous way to add greenery when your front garden is only 10′ deep.
Winter Rose, aka Helleborus
One of the hardiest, prettiest, most deer-resistant winter plants for our region.

Happy New Year!
Winter is in full swing here in the DC area. It won’t be long until we’re seeing the bold yellow of forsythia!

Try Primula this winter…
Pansies are everywhere, but my favorite winter flowers are primroses!
