I regularly plant pansies in the late fall. I have 2 South facing window boxes outside. My pansies bloom all winter long and sometimes into the summer. I always have beautiful flowers all winter long. We get snow and freezing temps in northern Nevada, but they keep on blooming. So nice to have color in winter. Another winter bloomer is heliobore. I planted a purple one several years ago. Now it has purple, white, light purple and variegated purple flowers. Very pretty.
