Winter Interest with Evergreen Perennials

When selecting “evergreen” ground covers, consider choosing plants rated for a hardiness zone at least one colder than your own. This increases the chances they will remain evergreen throughout the year, even during harsher winters.

Bring Life to Your Winter Garden with Evergreen Perennials

Even as winter chills the air and most plants slumber, evergreen perennials stand strong, adding beauty and interest to your landscape. Here's how these champions can enhance your garden throughout the year:

  • Wintertime Magic: When other perennials are dormant or lackluster, evergreens provide a burst of color, texture, and form. They bring life to the winter garden, offering a glimpse of the summer's magic that once was and a promise of spring to come.

  • Hiding the Off-Season: Evergreen perennials artfully conceal the fading foliage of summer bulbs and perennials that have gone dormant. They effectively camouflage these tired parts of the garden, creating a clean and visually pleasing scene.

  • A World of Choices: Evergreen perennials come in a stunning array of shapes, sizes, and bloom times. You can find tall, stately plants for backdrops, cascading groundcovers, and everything in between. There's an evergreen perennial to suit any design preference.

  • Shade Solutions: Many evergreen perennials thrive in shady areas, adding beauty to parts of your garden where other plants might struggle. This allows you to create depth and visual interest throughout your entire landscape.

  • Low-Maintenance Marvels: Generally low-maintenance, evergreen perennials require minimal upkeep. They're perfect for busy gardeners who want a beautiful landscape without the constant work.

Planting for Year-Round Beauty:

While most perennials look similar in spring and summer, some may surprise you by turning evergreen come winter. So, when shopping for spring or summer plantings, inquire about the plant's winter characteristics. A little research beforehand ensures you're selecting the right evergreen perennials for your garden.

Here are some popular evergreen perennials to consider:

  • Ajuga (Bugleweed)
  • Arabis (Rock Cress)
  • Armeria (Common Thrift, Sea Pink)
  • Bergenia (Heartleaf Bergenia, Pig Squeak)
  • Dianthus (Pinks)
  • Euonymus (Purple Leaf Wintercreeper)
  • Carex (Sedge)
  • Festuca (Blue Fescue)
  • Heuchera (Coral Bells)
  • Heucherella (Foamy Bells)
  • Iberis (Evergreen Candytuft)
  • Lavandula (English Lavender)
  • Liriope (Lily-turf)
  • Pachysandra (Japanese Spurge)
  • Phlox subulata (Creeping Phlox)
  • Sagina (Irish Moss)
  • Sedum (Stonecrop)
  • Sempervivum (Hen & Chicks)
  • Thymus (Creeping Thyme)
  • Tiarella (Foamflower)
  • Vinca (Myrtle, Periwinkle)
  • Yucca (Adam's Needle)

By incorporating evergreen perennials into your garden design, you can ensure vibrant beauty throughout the seasons, even when winter throws its coldest punches. So why not add some life to your winter landscape and enjoy your garden year-round?
