More About Cold Hardy Shrubs
As summer nights begin to chill, you’ll start to notice changes in the plants in your yard. Many plants show off their true hidden splendor in autumn, revealing a palette of breathtaking warm colors for one short season.
Some even say that fall is the only season with its very own color scheme. Certain colors come to mind, most certainly a warm palette of red, rust, orange, gold and maroon. During autumn, the focus is often on the brilliant colors of the foliage. Trees like Red Oak, dogwood and maple dazzle with their intense colors.
Not to be outdone, many fall shrubs, including Nandina, Beautyberry and Ruby Slippers Hydrangea, offer spectacular fall colors.
Some patient shrubs bide their time and flower in the fall. Fall-blooming shrubs include certain camellia varieties, which are available in brilliant colors, including vivid reds and bright pinks. Others, such as the spectacular Limelight Hydrangea, bloom in summer and hold onto their flowers well into autumn.
Plants that produce berries are welcome for both fall and winter, adding festive vibes to any outdoor setting. Think of the classic red berries on Blue Maid Holly and showy clusters of red fruit on Allegheny Viburnum. For something a little different, add pops of purple with Beautyberry’s violet-purple berries, or plant Leatherleaf Mahonia and enjoy clusters of large blue berries.
Tree bark and the stems of shrubs can be spectacular in the winter landscape. The stems of Red Twig Dogwood transform to a vivid red that contrasts sharply with winter colors. Plant them in groups to create delightful patches of warm color in your yard.
While exploring our collection of hardy shrubs, don’t forget evergreens! From the golden yellows of Vintage Gold Cypress to the steadfast green of boxwood, evergreen shrubs transform your yard into a picture-perfect postcard scene on snowy days.
