Winter hebaceous border is really a contradiction in terms:

In warmer parts of the world there are plants which die back in the
drought of the summer, and grow and flower during the wetter autumn and
winter seasons.

Finding plants that behave like that in the British climate is
difficult.

There's the winter-flowering strains of pansies - perhaps also
polyanthus. There's a few bulbous plants - such as species of Colchicum,
Crocus and Galanthus. There's Eranthis. There's Iris inguicularis and
Iris lazica. There's hellebores. If you stretch the boundaries there's
Nerine bowdenii and some species of cyclamen at one end, and Bellis
perennnis and assorted early spring bulbs at the other.


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!
