If you are thinking about creating an attractive hedge on your own property, you should take a closer look at plants that look good not only in summer, but also in winter.
An expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist, and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh helped to compile a list of evergreen shrubs that are perfect for this purpose.
In early spring, mahonia delights with fragrant, bright yellow inflorescences, and then attracts the eye with glossy green foliage.
The flowers are replaced by bright blue berries, which, by the way, are edible. In autumn, the mahonia changes its colour to a varnished crimson and waits for spring in this form.
In February, a snow-white scattering of flowers appears on the viburnum, and throughout the rest of the year the plant creates a real shield of dark green foliage.
Gardeners who grow different varieties of cherry laurel claim that it can grow at a breakneck speed. The large leaves of the plant have a glossy sheen that is especially noticeable after rain.
