Evergreen Plants

关于

Build instant year-round Landscape structure. Evergreen plants solve a very real homeowner problem: landscapes that look great in May, then feel empty the rest of the year. By keeping foliage through winter, evergreens give you “finished” curb appeal in every season—especially around entries, along fences, and in the sightlines you see every day. This collection typically includes both needle evergreens (like arborvitae and junipers) and broadleaf evergreens (like boxwood and many hollies), so you can mix textures and keep the look natural rather than flat. You can use evergreens in-ground for foundational structure, or in containers to anchor patios, front steps, and pool areas where you want year-round greenery. The trick with pots is to keep them consistently watered during establishment and to choose plants that won’t outgrow the container too quickly—compact boxwoods and small-leaved hollies are classic for that “clean” look. If your goal is screening, vertical growers like many arborvitae naturally read as a green fence when they’re given sun and drainage. Bloom windows still matter, even in an “evergreen-first” plan. Many hollies flower in late spring into early summer and can set berries that persist into winter when pollination requirements are met, while boxwoods typically have small spring blooms that are easy to overlook but can be noticeable up close. In other words: you’re not choosing between flowers and structure—you’re choosing structure first, then enjoying seasonal extras as a bonus. See the forms, textures, and sizes before you plant. Evergreens come in shapes that function like design tools: tight columns for narrow side yards, rounded mounds for “green punctuation,” and spreading forms that knit together slopes and borders. Mature size ranges widely—some stay 2–3 feet tall and wide, while others become true privacy trees (12–15 feet for smaller hedging types, and much larger for vigorous screen varieties), so choosing by mature dimensions is th
