Edible Landscaping Options

[Almost Eden]

I'm looking to incorporate some edible landscaping around my home and business. I have some ideas for spring and summer plants, but I'm not sure which edible plants will look nice in the fall and winter. Any suggestions?

I run a landscaping business and herbs are your friend for fall and winter planting. Rosemary, mint, and sage will all continue growing until they're hit by a hard frost. Rosemary will continue looking nice if you plant it under an eave or something else that provides cover. I've seen those plants last through January.

Radicchio is one of my faves because it's gorgeous purple color brightens up any dish. It's a good source of vitamin K and it's easy to grow. It's delicious cooked or raw. These will come back year after year and they pop up in cool weather so it's a great fall plant. Your clients can harvest a few leaves at a time (cut-and-come-again method) or they can slice the head away from the roots and if it's still within the cool season, it will re-sprout.
