Re: Snow loving perennials....

Thank you for all the suggestions of plants that may bloom in winter 
through the snow.
Johnny Jump-ups (now that I know they are heartease under a 
different guise) are certainly versatile as they persist year round 
in our gardens in NZ too but seem to like summer shade. They are the 
sort of plant that crops up everywhere but is easily weeded out and 
are like English Marigolds in this respect. We have a small courtyard 
which has a fine scoria base and becomes a home to many self sown 
plants, (eg.bellis perennis) or persistent creepers and we rarely 
have to add anything, just weed every now and again.
