The last few months have given us a roller coaster ride of weather events. Freezes, snow, record wind chills, sleet; winter has been much like…winter. We are all itching to get outside and start our gardening but perhaps a little leery of planting.
No need to wait, there’s a plethora of plants that are cold hardy to help start your landscaping, relieving that itch. Many of our shrubs, trees, and ornamentals are cold hardy, and greatly benefit by planting now. Not only are they tough enough to withstand our winter temps, they will start growing roots, giving them, a head start before our summer heat.
Check out a few prime choices for planting now. There’s a whole lot more to look at while you’re here!
