Using Evergreens in Containers, continued

	Sun Loving Evergreens for Containers
	Dwarf Alberta Spruce Dwarf Alberta Spruce is prized in containers for its formal, dense, conical shape. They usually do not take up much space due to their narrow form.
	Sky Pencil Holly ‘Sky Pencil’ holly does not have a lot of the bells and whistles associated with it as some of the other plants we have discussed, but it does a wonderful job as an upright evergreen in a pot. ‘Sky Pencil’ is also extremely narrow, leaving ample room for other additions to container gardens.
	Nandina Nandina provides a colorful punch to container gardens. The foliage transitions from bright green in the spring and summer to vivid crimson red in the fall and winter months.
	Yucca Yuccas can add a tropical or southwest feel to containers, depending on what they are combined with. Their spiky, colorful leaves add an interesting texture to pots.
	Windmill Palm Speaking of topical plants, windmill palm can be a really neat addition to containers or landscapes. These winter hardy palms go great by patios or pools. In the landscape, they can attain heights of over ten feet.
	Carolina Sapphire Cypress ‘Carolina Sapphire’ is another upright columnar shaped evergreen that does not take up too much space in pots. The attraction here is the nice blue color of the foliage.
	Curly Leaf Privet This privet has a nice, dense, tight form that lends itself well to containers. Much like the ‘Sky Pencil’ holly, there is not much to this plant aside from it’s curled foliage. Previous << \| >>Continue.....
