Sedums and semps are a real 4 season plant, a lot of these hardy to almost 3 zone. They are great for containers, topiaries, wreaths, and most of all the garden itself. They just show off their foliage colors more in the winter. The spurium sedums really glow in the winter. While real useful as a groundcover year round, they show off their reds, bronze and diffenerent shades of a coral. Certain sempervivum (chicks and hens) are also showing their reds and everchanging green colors. The coral bell (heuchera) is just another cold winter plant for added beauty. We can still work with the garden even now, for the real avid gardeners who dislike the winter indoors and miss working with plants. When the ground isn't frozen, you can still plant these beauties. I have been growing these for about 5 years and the hundreds I have in flats and trays outdoors in zone 6 are just in their glory healthy and in full color. These are great for windowboxes, ground containers, baskets, anything you can come up with in container line, or just use any dish gardens, boots--anything you can imagine. Consider these beauties for endless gardening rewards even in the winter.
