Winter plant ideas wanted (again**)

[Dave7]

We are about to plant out 2 troughs with trailing plants (for winter).
The idea is to have them at the front with taller plants behind them.
We only want them to last the winter.
**I posted similar a few weeks ago and received good ideas but can't find it now

We always end up with Winter Pansies for a bit of colour amongst the 'evergreen' shrubs.

I have a couple of pots like this

Heuchera is the purple one, and the other I can't be bothered to type out.
They're in 12" pots but started out in 6" pots last autumn.
I'm currently trailing the trail bits across seed trays so they can root (hopefully) to get lots of new ones soon.

Nice.
But we want something just for winter. Come spring we want to take everything out and put summer plants in.

Not trailing, but you could have some grasses, hellebores, autumn sedums, ...

Carrots, parsnips, swedes, turnips etc all have pretty foliage and taste nice!!

Many thanks.
How did you do that? I had no success at all.
