Landscaping Evergreen Shrubs

Why We Love Evergreen Shrubs

Think of your evergreen shrub collection as the backbone of your landscape. Consider each shrub and how it fits with the surrounding varieties. Create a balanced landscape using a combination of sizes, shapes, textures and colors.

Remember that not all evergreen shrubs are green. Some varieties, such as Grey Owl Juniper, produce bright silvery-blue berries summer through winter. These vivid berries are a favorite of birds. Many decorative evergreen shrubs, such as Vintage Gold Cypress, boast vibrant foliage colors and stand out in winter.

You can mix and match shrub varieties to create layers and dimensions. Shrubs can be dressed up with perennials during warmer months and shine as the main headline during cooler seasons.

5 Ways to Landscape Using Evergreen Shrubs

Here’s how to incorporate evergreen shrubs into your project:

1. Create flower bed borders and privacy screens: Green evergreen shrubs like American Boxwood are popular border plants.
2. Plant a textured backdrop: Unusual shrubs like Sea Green Juniper are excellent stand-alone winter plants and delightful summer backdrop plants.
3. Add pops of color to shady areas: Shade-tolerant evergreen shrubs, such as Green Velvet Boxwood, lighten and brighten your yard.
4. Incorporate a topiary as a feature: Choose varieties like the Winter Gem Boxwood if you want to prune your evergreen shrubs into creative shapes.
5. Turn up the delightful scents: The Otto Luyken Cherry Laurel is an exquisite low-growing hedge that welcomes spring with wonderfully fragrant white flowers.
