Arranging your Winter Planter
Winter planters bring beauty without the upkeep. Once the growing season ends, these arrangements need no watering and work anywhere in the landscape. Light requirements don’t matter, which makes placement easy.
This container starts with Arctic Fire red twig dogwood for bold winter color. Spruce branches add height and structure. Polar Gold arborvitae brings soft texture and bright contrast. Winterberry holly fills the middle with eye-catching berries. Soft evergreen greens finish the base and soften the edges.
Layering makes this design flexible and forgiving. You can keep adding or adjusting branches until it feels balanced. Using soil left in fall pots helps anchor everything in place.
Stop by our stores to find winter greens, branches, and berries to create your own low-maintenance seasonal container.
