Garden CenterPerfect For Pots
In the Ozarks if you plan your pots right, you can have year-round containers that many perennials and shrubs can live several years in. This allows not only a financial and time benefit but allows you to stay consistent with your outdoor design theme and provide your home with year-round curb appeal. When choosing a year-round plant, know that your container doesn’t keep the roots warm as the ground would, so plan on getting plants that would survive in hardiness zones of 4 and 5 if you don’t plan on bringing them inside for winter. You may want to check out a Golden Sword Yucca for interest, a Green Mountain Boxwood for height, Bergenia for body, a Golden Creeping Jenny for depth and the Japanese Pieris for a splash of color. All these plants would do fine in Missouri winters.

Big, beautiful, thick, round, and smooth. This spiral rush likes wet or moist soil and can be submerged in up to 4” of water. It will spread slowly by stolons; however, if spreading is a concern, keep it in check by submerging in pots. It’s a great accent for water gardens and can provide plenty of texture and interest to hard-to-landscape wet areas.
