Beautiful landscaping isn’t just for spring, summer and fall; winter months can be colorful and vibrant, too. Get the practical garden care advice and tips that will keep your home looking attractive and well-maintained all season long.

Protect Vulnerable Trees & Plants

Even the hardiest trees, plants and shrubs can sometimes be stressed by low temperatures, icy conditions or snow. In these cases, neatly wrap plants with burlap, apply mulch around the bases to keep roots warmer or set up wooden frames over them to minimize snow or wind damage. Use a consistent approach for a uniform, polished look. Replace worn or tattered burlap or wooden frames regularly.

Choose Colorful Cold-Hardy Plants

Enjoy seasonal pops of color by choosing flowering, evergreen or otherwise colorful plants. Among the most popular are red chokeberry, holly, dwarf arborvitae, witch hazel, red twig dogwood and some varieties of camellia. A variety of colors, textures and sizes increases visual appeal.

Water Plants Deeply Prior or Between Freezing Weather

Keep up with watering when conditions are right. Deep watering helps plants maintain good healthy roots primed for spring growth. Be sure to avoid watering too close to freezing cold snaps so the water can seep far enough underground. Regularly checking the 10-day forecasts can help you determine the ideal days for watering your plants.
