winter greenery

Seasonal decorative foliage

Winter greenery refers to plants that retain their foliage through the cold months—evergreen boughs, holly, ivy, pine, and similar vegetation.

The term especially applies to such plants when cut and used for seasonal decoration: We gathered winter greenery for the mantelpiece.

Wreaths, garlands, and centerpieces often feature winter greenery during the holiday season.
