A change in seasons means a change in plants. The good news is that you don't have to sacrifice pretty blooms and greenery, though. Check out some of my favorite winter plants after the jump.

Evergreen
I love that the term 'evergreen' is used metaphorically for things that are self-renewing. This is a pretty classic plant for winter and is always green. It's great for the holidays — use it in wreaths and holiday trees!
Ornamental Kale
A few weeks ago, I picked up an ornamental kale bouquet from the market. It's absolutely beautiful, has great color, and is totally different from the other plants in my house. As a bouquet, it lasts a while and in a cool-temperature garden it grows easily with low maintenance.
Snowdrops
This is a cute little bulb plant that blooms and survives even in the snow. If the elements are too harsh, however, the seeds will lie dormant until conditions are better.
Holly
Holly is a staple around Christmastime in the states and brings a great pop of color to arrangements and various decor.
Witch Hazel
A totally bazaar-looking plant with all types of medicinal uses.
Bergenia
Pink flowers, how could I resist? I love that these are sometimes called pig squeak because of the sound the leaves make when rubbed together.
