The common witch-hazel will still be flowering in a few locations and the fruit on the heavenly bamboo will still be noteworthy. Pansies are still looking nice.


Fruit on hollies is still very attractive. Also take note of the fruit on the coralberry, which is a Missouri native.

 

The ornamental grasses remain lovely. Miscanthus will display their showy panicles until late winter.

 

Plants with other noteworthy winter features are the berries on winterberries and the attractive bark on the paperbark maple and river birch.


Colorful bark on many of the shrub dogwoods adds bright colors to winter.


In the Linnean House you can enjoy some early camellias as well as cyclamens.

 

The pines in the Japanese Garden are always picturesque. Norway spruce is a good large growing evergreen for the area. Sawara cypress makes a dependable evergreen under 6 feet tall.
