different types of evergreen shrubs
Prune and shape evergreen shrubs to provide year-round hedges, ground covers and privacy screens in your yard. The scarlet firethorn (Pyracantha coccinea) and Chinese holly (Ilex cornuta) shrubs produce red-colored berries and dark-green leaves.
Plant evergreen ornamental varieties for year-round specimen plants. Grasses include blue oat grass (Helictotrichon sempervirens) and tall blue fescue (Festuca amethystine). Blue oat grass is a semi-evergreen fountain grass. It grows well in zones 4 through 9 and needs dry, well-drained soil.
