Plants for winter pots? - Help!

I want something for the front doorstep. I had a marguerite (daisy) there in the summer followed by geraniums but they are all but dead now.

What can I put out there that will look good all winter? I'm thinking like a shrub thing I guess.....

you cant go wrong with shrubs, very nice and hardly any care needed. winter pansys are also nice mix of colours.

good luck in your choice

Oh pansies! Didn't think of them! Thanks...

Will go to the garden centre at the weekend and see what they have...

BM go to Tesco 30 Arabian Winter Pansies for £3.00

Fabby. I've planted all mine and they look lovely (I brought 60 and filled about 7 tubs they are lovely).

(B&Q have got great offers on bulbs too 75 crocus bulbs for £4.00)

Lovely thanks Seagull...

I'll have to get DH to drive me in his taxi as my car is still being assessed for damage! I hate going out in it as everyone tries to get in when you pull over!
