Use Foliage for 4-Season Color
May 20, 2014
Magnificent gardens are more than just flowers! As perennials come in and out of bloom, foliage is fundamental for keeping a garden looking its best. That's why it often makes sense to mix evergreen shrubs in perennial beds and borders.
This mixed planting will have foliage interest year-round. The Dwarf Eastern White Pine and "Blue Star" Juniper will provide winter color. In Summer, the Chinese Astilbe foliage will remain green and attractive all season, while the fine foliage of "Moonbeam" provides a colorful skirt for the garden.
