Broad Leafed Evergreens - Pieris
One of my favorite broad-leafed evergreens, Pieris or often mistakenly called Andromeda, is perfect for the shady garden. A member of the Ericaceae and closely related to Rhododendrons, it thrives in the same kind of moist, organic, acid soil.

Broad Leafed Evergreens - Aucuba
If you need an evergreen shrub for that really dark shady spot, then Aucuba is the one for you. Belonging to the same family as Dogwoods (Cornus), Cornaceae, but not resembling them in the least, are a small group of 3 to 7 species of evergreen shrubs native mostly to Japan.

Broad Leafed Evergreens - Boxwood
The term ‘broad leafed’ doesn’t really mean large leaves. It just differentiates between needled evergreens and those with leaves. Boxwood (Buxus) has been associated with formal gardens for centuries.

Broad Leafed Evergreens - Hollies
Hollies (Ilex) belong to the family Aquifoliaceae. There are over 350 species native to North America, Europe, Africa, Australia, the Orient and Brazil. They range in size from dwarf shrubs to huge trees. Both evergreen and deciduous ones are readily available from local nurseries and by mail order. The evergreen varieties are the most useful as ‘bones’ for the garden. Many will also provide the added bonus of berries, which can be red or yellow.

Broad Leafed Evergreens - Kalmia
Kalmia, or Mountain Laurel, is one plant whose buds are just as neat and lovely as the open flowers. Sometimes the buds are a completely different color from the open flower, and since the flowers don’t open all at one time, the effect can be very lively. It is one of the most beautiful of native U.S. shrubs in flower.

Broad Leafed Evergreens - Rhododendrons & Azaleas
If the Rhododendron is King of the broad-leafed evergreens, then the Azalea is Queen. While I do have something blooming all season, there is nothing like the concentrated flower-power of the "Rhodies" and Azaleas in May. Actually, both are Rhododendrons and members of the ericaceae family like heaths and heathers.

Perennial Foliage For Early Winter
The tree and shrub leaves have drifted over my borders and most perennials in my garden have retreated underground, or into tight rosettes, for the winter. Nevertheless, a jaunt around the garden found several perennials whose leaves are still very much in evidence; aiding the evergreen trees and shrubs in furnishing the early winter garden.

Living Walls - Borders & Hedges: Yews and Hemlocks
I guess you could call any dense planting a ‘living wall’, but I’m thinking more in terms of plantings made to enclose a space with a purpose in mind. This could be a border or hedge of evergreens or one of mixed evergreens and deciduous plants.
