Winter Interest Plants
Winter Interest Plants
Winter interest plants can be divided into four categories; Winter Flowering Plants, Trees with Attractive Bark, Trees with Winter Berries and Evergreen plants.
Winter flowering plants are few and far between, but they make impressive specimens, and they do provide value to wildlife.
Birch typifies the classic winter interest plant, but there are many other species with fantastic bark and stems. Willow and Dogwood both contain species with colourful stems, and are ideal for small spaces.
For long lasting berries, both Crabapple and Rowan trees' fruits last well into winter, but only Holly's fruits that will persist through the entire season.
Evergreen plants provide year round structure to the garden, and conifers come into their own with tasteful hues of blue and green and twisting or classically upright habits.
