Tender perennials turn brown after the first hard freeze that often coincides with Thanksgiving season. The plants that remain green are now appreciated in a new way. Cactus, liriope, rosemary, yaupon and other plants stand out as the "stars" of the winter season because other plants won't return until warmer weather does.
