Abstract:
Winter can be a gloomy time with chill winds blowing on some days and gray clouds on others. Anderson suggests brightening up the garden at this season with some trees and shrubs with bright gold variegation. She lists a number of evergreens that last through all seasons into the dark winter days, such as variegated Japanese aucuba, abelia kaleidoscope, yucca gold guard, pyracantha, nandina (the one with yellow berries), golden threadleaf false cypress.
