| When planning a garden, gardeners should keep in mind that while flowering plants are beautiful, they only bloom for half of the year. Once spring and summer end, gardens can turn brown and barren if there aren’t cold weather plants to color the winter landscape. So how can gardeners determine the best plants for their particular area?
Year-Round Gardening: The Year-Round Experience is part of a new series of informational brochures from Monrovia, one of the world’s largest growers of container plants. The series, available in garden centers nationwide, is designed to educate expert and novice gardeners alike. Each brochure addresses a different aspect of gardening from plant health and nutrition to starting a container garden.
With a little planning, gardeners can supplement spring and summer bloomers with plants that are attractive in cooler weather. Monrovia’s Year-Round Gardening brochure provides lists of plants that bloom and berry best in the fall and winter months and offer colorful foliage. There are tips for effectively growing and pollinating holly plants and advice for making gardens a winter haven for birds and wildlife.-more-
