Wintergreen has long been regarded as a bit dull and boring, but now the trend has reversed and there are more and more people who do not want to be without these sturdy and easy-care plants.
Evergreens are a group of different plants with shapes, colors and sizes that differ greatly from each other. In the book Wintergreen plants, we learn partly the advantages of these plants, such as the fact that they are beautiful, take on sculptural forms in the winter and give the garden structure and character, and partly the importance of choosing the right plant in the right place. The reader is also given tips on how evergreens can be combined with various perennials and deciduous trees and shrubs, as a garden with only evergreens can feel a bit gloomy.
Here are examples of evergreen plants for different locations (sun, shade, dry, moist, sandy soil, clay soil, acid soil, alkaline soil), but also for different areas of use (privacy protection, solitaires, entrance plantings, flower beds, in pots, etc.). The introductory inspiration part ends with a chapter on hardiness, plant selection, planting and care.
