Thank you !!!! Looking to add some structure to my winter garden.

I know that hydrangea, butterfly bush, sambucus and viburnum are not. I'm not sure about the rest. I love viburnum. That sounds wonderful. BTW, even though it is not evergreen, I love the way a Japanese Maple looks in the winter.
Some things here that are nice in the winter:
Yucca
Holly
Lithodora
boxwood

and hellebores, I finally got one this year and it looks so nice!

Forgot to mention tall showy sedum, I leave the flower heads on til spring and it add structure to my flat perennial beds.

Lithodora looks nice and blue. How big does it get? I had a designer look at my yard and suggested getting some broadleaf evergreens in 3'-8' range for height.

Viburnum burkwoodii seems to be evergreen, my Hydrangea 'Lemon Wave' was semi-evergreen for a few years, Sambucus & Weigela can be evergreen'ish. This winter most of these except for the 1st were deciduous but most other years they have been somewhat evergreen. It depends on what kinda winter we have and this past winter was tough on the sensitive plants.

Thanks Growin! That is great information! :)

I think the few degrees in our zone difference must make a difference, then. Most of the shrubs I listed as not being evergreen are also deciduous and lose their leaves in the fall here. Pretty colors!

Lithodora grows like a carpet for about 2-3 feet. I'm sure it'll go farther if you let it. It can also get woody on the bottom. I cut it WAY back every other year to prevent that. It will come right back from the root. It will grow in the shade too, but won't flower much.

I've seen some very attractive landscaping effects with Holly. I like to look at other peoples yards when we drive places. There are a lot of great ideas! Most people don't seem to mind when a stranger knocks on their door asking about their yard.

Camelia!
Evergreen with gorgeous glossy dark green leaves all year, plus the bonus of outstanding flowers in the winter when everything else is sleeping. Fits that 3-8' category nicely.
