Five Plants for Winter Interest! Garden Answer Holly: Once again you have given me so many wonderful ideas for my own small yard, I live in a zone 5 and I would love to put some of these beautiful plants in my yard, but when the snow comes there is always so much in my yard that I am afraid everything would be so buried they may not like it, but then it would insulate and protect it. I loved seeing Russell sitting there while you were talking about the one gorgeous shrub, Aaron that was perfect to capture him there. That is the one I would love to put in my yard, one on each side of the sidewalk tucked about three feet in, I can envision it the way I want it to look. Thank you so much Laura you are always such an inspiration and I just love your videos. Thanks again to you and Aaron.

Is Juniper Gin Fizz the only native plant in this list? I am searching for evergreens that are NONINVASIVE and Good for the birds. I don't want berries that are going to kill the birds in the winter! i just removed 4 giant bushes called heavenly bamboo because bird were dying on my land and upon research the berries on these bushes are poisonous to birds. there is nothing sadder than finding dead cardnials and woodpeckers in your yard in the winter. i mean there are sadder things but it is miserable.

It might be wise to have Ipecac Syrup on hand if you have poison berries. I have 1 out of 8 of my children who ate Western Snowberries that grew wild in a neighbors yard. I called poison control and was thankful that I had Ipecac on hand. Even though it rarely happens, there are some kids who love berries, like blueberries and they think other berries that look similar are edibles when they aren't. We often pick Huckleberries that grow wild in our woods in the NW and they are red and edible.

Fluffy just might be the arborvitae I'm looking for to replace the 50yr old Emerald that flanks the steps up to my front porch! I string christmas lights on it every winter but it's such a vigorous plant that I have to spend a lot of time pruning it to maintain the max. 12ft height for the job. A compact evergreen arborvitae that only grows 10-12 ft is the answer. The Emerald is coming out next spring (groan) and Fluffy it is!

Hi Laura. Planning to design a new garden and was curious to know how fluffy did? I worry about the snow deforming them. My sky rocket blue pines could never recover, and after reaching ten feet, I had to toss from the front, so sad. I do have the Annas and sure have enjoyed them! TIA!

Love your kitty. He is always following you! How sweet! I live in PA and we are a zone 6. These plants are a wonderful choice for us as we are starting to repopulate our property and I need that winter interest. Such a great video! Thanks!

Just a though of caution where you put that berry Poppins. If kids come by and like picking fruit, they might go straight to it. maybe not Benjamin since he will be used to not. but other families kids. Child proofing garden ahhhh!

i keep up with most of your new videos, and also watch older ones regularly. Aaron's camerawork and editing have gotten so awesome! I watched something from a few years ago yesterday, and the difference is noticeable. Good job team!

I have a Jantar Cedar (coloured like the Fluffy) and I have it between a Wine & Roses Weigela and Karl Foerster grasses, and a variegated Euonymus in front. Sooooo pretty. The Wine colour with the yellow is awesome.
