Brr it’s cold outside! Does you garden need some additional color this season? Even though many of our perennials and deciduous plants are going through dormancy there are still options to add color to your garden beds or containers.
Silver – Teucrium fruticans or Heuchera ‘Smoke and Mirrors’
One of my favorite, simple plant combinations is a mix of silver with glossy green foliage. Many plants maintain their green leaves during the winter, but adding a dose of silver creates depth and interest.
Purple – Heuchera ‘Grape Expectations’ or Ajuga ‘Caitlin’s Giant’
Once you’ve added contrast with silver and green mix in some purple for depth. Both ‘Grape Expectations’ and ‘Caitlin’s Giant’ are reliably evergreen all season.
Gold – Thuja ‘Forever Goldie’ or Hypericum ‘Brigadoon’
Your planting is now an interesting mix of cool colors, so drop in gold for a pop of brightness. Winter can feel long but adding color to the garden can enliven the space and make spring seem closer. Ready to get started? Complete our contact form or give us a call at (919) 475-1015.
