During winter, evergreen perennials not only add winter interest to the garden but can also conceal the dying foliage of other plants. Flowering evergreens present colorful displays in various seasons. Unlike herbaceous perennials that die back to the ground in cold weather, evergreen perennials provide texture and color to your garden all year long.
