Garden Through the Cold with Winter Greenery

Some people don’t mind having a bare yard throughout the winter months. If you are among those who prefer to have a winter garden, consider winter evergreens with the help of Rosehill Gardens.

• The Green Mountain Boxwood is up to five feet high and three feet wide when matured. It does best in full sun or partial shade. It requires moderate maintenance and is also deer and rabbit resistant.
• The Eastern White Pine can grow up to 60 feet high and 20 feet wide at full maturity. It is non-flowering and requires low maintenance. It is also deer resistant and prefers full sun or partial shade.
• The Perfecta Juniper can grow up to 20 feet high and 10 feet wide, and it prefers full sun or partial shade. It is also non-flowering and low-maintenance, as well as deer resistant and drought tolerant.  It can be easily trimmed to give great screening, or it can be trimmed into columnar shapes for accent plants.
• The Norway Spruce is very common for the Midwest. It is a safe and reliable evergreen that will grow up to 50 feet tall and 12 feet wide. It is rabbit and deer resistant.

You can also consider adding berries, hollys, and hedges for some cover up close to your house. For even more variety, check out our Plant Care Guide.
