beautiful Winter organery Ideas
Most gardeners who plant and enjoy their gardens while the spring, summer, and fall, have a unavoidable dread for the wintertime, and the effects that cold weather, and even snow, will have on the extensive attractiveness of their gardens. For lack of a good description, all things just looks drab and dead while the winter. Fortunately, if you know what to plant, you will find that you can have a beautiful orchad while all four seasons of the year, including the winter.
First, think about grasses and evergreens for your winter garden. These will provide the perfect backdrop for what comes next. Make sure that you plant grasses and evergreens that are designed to whether blossom in the winter, or at the very least to hold up and not die when cold weather arrives.
While there are no flowers that fare well in the winter, other than poinsettias which don't last very long, you may want to seriously consider adding color to your garden, to work against your green backdrop, in the form of assorted berries. There are a huge range of colors ready when it comes to berries, and you can as a matter of fact fill your orchad space up with attractiveness and color.
If you want red colors, go for an American Holly Bush or the American Cranberry Bush. Both of these will yield beautiful red berries while the winter, and will yield beautiful white flowers while the spring. While you want a good selection of greenery and other color for your winter garden, you must considered consider what the plant will yield while other times of the year as well.
For example, other options for red winter berries contain the Cranberry Cotoneaster, the Tea Viburnum, Winter King Hawthorne, and the Winterberry. The Cranberry Cotoneaster produces small pink flowers in the spring, the Tea Viburnum produces small white flowers in the spring, the Winter King Hawthorne will yield white flower clusters while the spring, and the winterberry berries will all be eaten up by the birds long before winter is over.
While red is a beloved winter color, it isn't the only color that you can add to your orchad in the form of berries. The Arrow Wood produces berries that are such a dark blue that they almost appear black. This plant also produces white flowers in the spring. If a color that is more of a purple/black, instead of a blue/black is preferred, you can plant Black Chokeberry. Someone else darker colored berry is the Coralberry, which is also known as Indian Currant.
If you want Lighter colored berries in your garden, you should note that some varieties of the above plants will yield yellow berries. You should also consider Lighter blues, such as the Eastern Red Cedar or the Northern Bayberry.
Of course, with all of that vibrant color, you will want to offset some of it with a splash of white. This can be achieved with the common Snowberry. Plan the Snowberry plants sporadically throughout the other assorted colored plants for the right effect. Because the berries probably won't yet have bloomed when you set the plants, you will most likely have to use your imagination to realize what the completed, blooming orchad will look like in the cold winter months.
You may, of course, want to add more than greenery and berries to your winter orchad as well. You might consider winter fruits and those flowering plants that are meant for spring, but also look beautiful in the winter. If you live in a particularly cold area, you might want to consider how much time you will need to spend outdoors, in your garden, tending to your winter plants as well.
