January can be dreary in the landscape. One way to brighten it up is with a coral bark maple tree. My favorite is Acer palmatum 'Beni Kawa' because it holds its bright red stems through winter very well, standing out against the grays and browns of winter.

Our Georgia winters can be tough. Winter container gardens and flowerbeds must withstand cold temps, but these cabbages and kales (hybridized to look like flowers) usually come through pretty well. Their frilly, sturdy leaves means they can shake off extra moisture and won't rot as easily with heavy rain, the colors are heavenly in the dead of winter - and the deer won't eat them!
