Mild Winter, White Christmas

Gardeners in mild winter climates may not get a white Christmas, but that doesn't mean they can't add a snowy touch to their outdoor Christmas decorations. This month, nurseries carry a variety of potted, white flowering plants as well as plants with white variegated leaves. Mix and match them to turn entryways and porches into wintry wonderlands. Look for Christmas classics like poinsettias, azaleas, and amaryllis -- but don't forget winter annuals like pansies, violas, primroses and alyssum. There's also sasanqua camellias, cyclamen, early blooming narcissus and variegated evergreen plants like liriope, holly, daphne and pittosporum.
