I have been adding weeping evergreens in my
garden. They add a nice contrast, and don't have as extensive a root
system to deal with.
Thanks

Winter Garden
Most of us depend on the evergreens to make
the winter garden. I have my
own list of favorite conifers but they
are pretty ordinary. I am looking
for some of the stranger and more
unique specimens which I might add for
the winter blahs. Any
suggestions?
The one item I find that I would not be without now
(especially for winter)
are the tall grasses. After a great summer
and a beautiful fall they still
look wonderful amidst the snow and the
ice. Along with the small specimen
trees (mostly pendular) they cast
great long blue shadows across the crust
of snow on a sunny winter
afternoon. Just looking at this picture postcard
stuff can keep me from
shoveling for hours.
I am starting to see some serious two dimensional
silhouette sculpture
(usually with a black or metallic patina) for
the winter garden in the
various catalogues. I am not sure how I feel about
these things, but am
almost tempted to try a piece. Any experience out
there?
