It has a dark green-to-purple foliage and is striking against the planters and in the early frosts/snows. I think it can be used in salads, too, but I find it too beautiful to cut!

It is still early enough in the year to allow plants to establish a bit before the weather gets too cold. Check with your local nursery and ask an expert there. It all depends on the location and your 'zone'. I know pansies are great winter color and snapdragons to well too. Not many plants flower through a hard freeze, but most should survive or have a warranty if you buy them locally. There are lots of things you can still plant.
