Cold, frost-prone gardens need plants that are tough and reliable. Our selection of frost-hardy natives is suited to cooler climates, higher altitudes, and areas that experience regular winter frosts. These plants are adapted to cold temperatures, wind exposure, and seasonal extremes, while still providing strong structure, evergreen foliage, and year-round interest. Ideal for creating resilient, low-maintenance gardens that perform well even in the harshest conditions.
