Top Cold-Hardy Evergreens for Container Gardens

Stalwart shrubs like boxwood, dwarf conifers and cotoneaster can live in good-sized containers for years, providing year-round interest and cutting down on the need to repot. Boxwood is the most popular evergreen for containers, and can be shaped any way you'd like or kept in more natural forms. Dwarf conifers can be used in the coldest regions, and gum-drop like dwarf mugo pine is the best bet for rounded shapes. Plants grow slowly and maintain a mounded form without pruning, although some pruning in spring can even out shape and control size.
