Dr. Rick's top 10 for the freezer

Dr. Rick Schoellhorn presents his favorite plants that can handle a Zone 3 winter with prolonged periods of sub-zero temperatures.


From Proven Winners

All too often we forget that there are gardeners in the cold north who have winters with prolonged temperatures of -40F, low or no snow but drying winter winds and soil that heaves as it freezes and thaws. That kind of a climate requires tough plants that can really handle demanding conditions. The good news is that there are a lot of options for gardeners in the freezer of the north! Here’s our top 10 groups of plants (We went a little overboard but figured you’d like to see more rather than less!).

Five plants on Dr. Rick's list includes:

Happy Face™ & Happy Face® Pink Paradise Potentilla (pictured)

Tuscan Sun Heliopsis

Little Goblin™ & Berry Heavy® Gold Winterberry

Proven Winners® Daylilies

Celtic Pride™ Siberian Cypress
