[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dwarf varities of ecchinacea are complaint and are said to stand up to dog urine.[/quote] I was hoping to select something that would remain attractive in winter, but maybe I need to give up on that goal.[/quote] I suppose defining attractive is key. If you look at designers like Piet Oudulf, Adrien Bloom, and the like, they focus on structures of plants that provide winter interest. For example, the seed heads of ecchinacea are a winter attraction (and food for birds). The red branches of red twig dogwood are a winter interest. The golden tan wave of grasses in winter are pretty. Unless a plant has a winter color, you are relying on interesting form and movement to keep the space attractive until spring. Piedmond Master Gardens have a nice article about winter interest. https://www.piedmontmastergardeners.org/article/reflections-on-the-winter-landscape/[/quote]
