Planting Spanish Winter Evergreen Plants Gardening in Spain.
Spanish Winter Evergreens October and November just before it gets colder here in Spain is time to plan your winter Spanish garden.
Spanish Winter Evergreens
Just because it is going to turn cold in a few months, does not mean your garden has to look dull or lifeless.
Believe it or not, there are many plant options that you can use to make your yard and garden look great year round.
So instead of thinking about plants going dormant, it is time to start planning and planting a few things that will stay colourful and look good through the winter when many other plants turn brown and leafless.
Actually, anything that remains evergreen throughout the winter months may be considered a candidate for winter interest, but I have chosen some plants that flower, have great structure, or produce berries.
Many more perennials could have been listed here, but hopefully you will get some inspiration from some of these: iola tricolor – Pansy

1. Viola tricolor – Pansy
Produces neat flowers with faces in shades of yellow, blue, violet, and white.
Flowers in fall and often in winter. Self-seeds readily.
2. Rosa rugosa – Rugosa Rose
This is a large shrub that grows to 8 feet (2.4m) and has good autumn colour.
What makes this plant appealing for winter are the large tomato-like hips that are produced after it flowers. The hips are quite a feature and last all winter long.

3. Sedum ‘Herbstfreude’ (‘Autumn Joy’)
This plant has fleshy leaves and grows to 24 in (60 cm).
It has large heads of pink flowers that appear in the fall and eventually fade to copper colour and then turn red.
So do not cut them back until the spring to get the most interest from this plant.
4. Arum italicum – Italian Arum
Grows to 12 inches (30 cm). This is a tuberous perennial with broad arrow-shaped leaves that appear in the autumn.
The foliage dies back in the summer just as the decorative red berries appear.
After the berries die, the foliage reappears, remains until the next summer, and is lush and green all winter.

This plant is grown mainly for its foliage, which is sweet smelling.
In the winter, it has beautiful texture and pleasing green, white and chartreuse colors.
6. Rohdea japonica – Lily of China
During the winter months it forms clumps of deep green long leaves that are 8 -18 inches (20-45 cm) long.
This plant has bright red berries during winter that contrast the dark green leaves very well.
This is an excellent choice for a limited spread groundcover, a small specimen clump or even in a container.
