Living here in the northern part of the United States I am longing for spring and some color in my garden other than white or tan. I spent a little time wandering the gardens yesterday to see if I could find color of some sort. There are only patches of snow here and there but I was hard pressed to find a lot of color. Here's a sampling of what I found.
 |
| Evergreen shrubs are good for year round color. This one has highlights of bright yellow. |
 |
| This 'Blue Star' Juniper has a nice silver blue color tinged at this time of the year with pink. |
 |
| This euonymus has pink highlights. |
 |
| Sedum 'Blue Spruce' |
 |
| Yucca 'Color Guard' looks great year round. |
 |
| You can depend on sempervivums to look great after a long winter. |
Take heart, before we know it we will be enjoying...
I can't pretend to be in your situation Michelle, we are full on spring here ..I enjoy seeing which plants make it unscathed through your challenging winters..
ReplyDeleteIt seemed like spring this past week, but I hear the wind blowing and the sleet hitting the window now. So I will continue to wait patiently for spring. You could share a few more garden pictures to help me make it.
DeleteSpring has yet to make an appearance here too which is somewhat unusual. Tonight we are supposed to get 3-5 inches of snow, sleet and freezing rain. I'm way past patiently waiting.
ReplyDeleteI was waiting patiently, but no more. Now I wait impatiently. I NEED to get out and into the garden!
ReplyDeleteOur daffs and crocus are up but we've had a strangely cold March and everything else is waiting to wake up. You're smart to grow plants that also give a pop of color even when it's dreary out. :o)
ReplyDeleteSpring has definitely here.. and I love it!
