[Arid_gardener] Question from Home-Hort WWW page

[Jim Oravetz]

Hello Gayle,
Here are a few suggestions for cold weather color. I have used all in 
my yard and in containers over the years with good success. Pansey, 
Snapdragon, Calendula, Stock, Sweet Alyssum, Lobelia and Gerainium. 
I'm sure others out there can add their successes to this list too.
