Replace end-of-season annual container plantings with a display of winter heath and pansies or violas.

Make sure the pot is frost-proof (most clay pots are not) and free-draining. Freshen the soil with a potting mix.

The cold in January will flatten unprotected pansies, but they will bounce back for a spring display.
