Most plants make their best show in one
of the four seasons. It may be spring
flowers or fall color but there should be at
least one time of the year when your
landscape plants shine.
Some species of plants such as
forsythia, deutzia, spirea and lilac are
only of special interest during the 2-week
period that they are in bloom. The rest of
the year, they are just plain green plants.
Not bad but nothing to write home about.
On the other hand, there are many
landscape plants that will give you rewards
for two or more seasons. This adds greatly
to their value and should be sought out
whenever possible.
Multi-season landscape plants will have
two or more of the following
characteristics:
|
1.
Flowers
2. Attractive or Unusual Fruit
3. Summer Foliage
4. Autumn Color
|
5.
General Form
6. Winter Twigs or Bark
7. Winter Impact
