Default What constitutes a autumn / winter Herbaceous border ???

Any recommendations



Winter hebaceous border is really a contradiction in terms:

Definition: herbaceous plant
Plant with very little or no wood, dying back at the end of every summer.
The herbaceous perennials survive winters as underground storage organs such
as bulbs and tubers.



I suppose thinkg like Euphorbia could be grouped to give an evergreen effect
but "herbaceous border" - nah!
