These are landscapes specifically designed for “winter color”. One example of a plant that provides winter interest is the Firethorn, Pyracantha, which is an evergreen plant that is easy to grow and provides seasonal interest and berries.
We’ve been pretty busy lately with many of our clientele adding to their beds with shrubs, spring bulbs and even perennial beds.

Give your yard a dose of winter color by including plants that steal the spotlight during cooler weather.
