[quote=Anonymous]You could mix native evergreens and native deciduous plants that provide winter interest. With varying heights. How much sun and shade do you have?

Evergreens:

-Inkberry holly. Grows 5-8 feet high and can take from full sun to full shade.

-Alumroot (Heuchera americana). Grows 1-2 feet high and can take part sun to shade. Foliage is evergreen and it shoots up blooms in the spring.

-Golden ragwort (packera aurea)! Easy to grow in sun or shade, foliage is evergreen, blooms yellow flowers in early spring, will spread nicely for some groundcover. Grows about a foot high.

Deciduous with winter interest:

- Chokeberrry - comes in different height and has red berries in winter.

-Winterberry Holly - Does best in full sun. Female produce berries in winter. Looks beautiful against snow.

There are also some native evergreen ferns that might look good in the mix. Could provide more ideas depending on your sun and deer situation, plus how close your windows are to the ground.
