Perennial plants can provide significant interest to winter gardens, transforming a potentially barren landscape into a place of beauty and intrigue. When considering perennials for winter interest, it is essential to look for plants that offer colorful berries, persistent foliage, or distinctive forms that stand out against the winter backdrop. To ensure your garden remains a point of interest throughout the winter, select perennials that are hardy in your zone and complement them with early bloomers like Lenten roses, which can flower even in the snow.

Considerations:

  • Evergreen Foliage: Plants with evergreen foliage retain their leaves throughout the year, providing a constant source of color and texture.
  • Winter Blooms: Some plants produce flowers during the winter months, adding a vibrant touch to your garden.
  • Colorful Berries: Many plants produce colorful berries that can last well into the winter.
  • Interesting Bark: Plants with attractive bark can be a focal point in your garden, especially when their leaves have fallen.
  • Ornamental Grasses: Many ornamental grasses retain their dried foliage throughout the winter, adding texture and interest.
  • Unique Structures: Plants with unusual shapes or structures, such as bamboo or Japanese maples, can be a focal point in your winter garden.

Additional Tips:

  • Consider Your Climate: Choose plants that are well-suited to your local climate.
  • Plant in Groups: Planting plants in groups create a more dramatic effect.
  • Add Texture: Incorporate plants with different textures to add visual interest.
  • Pruning: Proper pruning can help maintain the shape and health of your plants.

By selecting plants with winter interest characteristics, you can create a beautiful and inviting garden that will provide enjoyment throughout the year.
