In winter choices are a bit limited compared to the abundance of spring, but adding color to shady outdoor spaces isn't hard. In this idea pot golden English ivy stands out on the left, alongside a colorful trio: cyclamen, violas and coral bells.

Coral bells come in an array of colorful leaves: bright greens, dark purples and several shades of bronze. They are pictured here with wispy sweet flag. Both of these evergreen perennials tend to be left alone by deer. Transfer to your shade garden next spring.

When the landscape is down to its bare bones every bit of green helps lift spirits. Fine fronds and grassy texture can be added to container gardens by planting evergreens like juncus, sedge, sweet flag and autumn fern, all of which are perennial.
