Are there any plants that can survive winter?
In cold weather climates, choose cultivars that are hardy enough to survive long, cold winters. Add trees and shrubs such as witch hazel, red twig dogwood, and evergreen conifers for height and structure that will look good even under a blanket of snow. Grasses, evergreen shrubs, clipped topiary and Japanese-style mosses will all keep your garden looking dynamic in the chillier months of the year. They’ll also provide an elegant foil for more colourful flowers in the summer season. Make individual flowers pop by using contrasting colour schemes.
