Winter is the test of every beautiful perennial garden. Is it pretty in winter?.
Above, a good perennial garden: canopy & understory trees, backdrop hedge (fence-wall-house are fine too), boxwood. Each element forming structure/bones for the winter landscape.

Dwarf conifers are great in the perennial border. They peak in winter. Of course, in my Southern zone 8, rosemary is evergreen and blooms all winter. La-ti-da. Sweet.

That is so true, does it look good in the winter. I love boxwood, I don't have enough of it in my garden!
Beautiful and lush!
The sedums, the sedums...aren't they amazing? I just took a picture of the sedums at my parent's place and posted it. That pink just burns in my mind. So gorgeous.
I would LOVE to have my garden look like this. It's stunning.
I have alot of roses that do not look good in winter but - box hedging really helps !
