Evergreen Oregon Natives for Year Round Interest

If you are looking for a Northwest natural feel for your landscape, Al’s Garden Center has a selection of native plants that will look good year round.  Below is a list of great evergreen native plants. These plants offer an abundance of benefits. They are deer resistant, drought tolerant, shade-loving, and about as low maintenance as you can find.

 

To establish evergreen native plants you will want to plant them with a soil amendment, like NW Best Soil Amendment and Top Dressing. Water them deeply for the first year. After the first year, native plants will begin to survive on their own. Sword and deer Ferns will need to be sheared back in late winter to allow for the arrival of their new fronds.
