It is surprising how much colour you can find in the garden during the winter months. If you want to create\u00a0more interest in the winter, you may wish to consider some of the following:<\/p>\n

Helleborus<\/strong> \u2014 a firm favourite that never fails to disappoint. There are\u00a0many varieties, we particularly like; \u2018niger\u2019 (Christmas rose), and \u2018x hy-bridus \u2018<\/p>\n

Ilex (Holly)<\/strong> \u2014 especially as standards, if you make sure that they are\u00a0well-watered and fed over the spring & summer you will be rewarded\u00a0with an abundance beautiful crimson berries over the holiday season.<\/p>\n

Cornus (Dogwood)<\/strong> \u2014 There are many varieties, \u2018winter-fire\u2019,\u2019alba\u2019\u00a0\u2018sibirica-baton rouge\u2019 have dramatic red stems, or alternatively try Cornus sericea \u2018Flaviramea\u2019 for their olive-yellow stems.<\/p>\n

Heuchera<\/strong> \u2014 Apart from the more familiar \u2018palace purple\u2019, you may consider\u00a0the pinker & orange varieties of \u2018creme brulee\u2019 & \u2018vienna\u2019.<\/p>\n

Hamamelis \u2013 (mollis)<\/strong> Produces extremely fragrant, yellow flowers, along bare branches. Needs well-drained\u00a0acid soil, keep in a pot and feed regularly.<\/p>\n

Euonymus fortunei \u2018Emerald \u2018n\u2019 Gold\u2019<\/strong> \u2014 this shrub is lovely and bright during\u00a0the dark winter months, it lifts a fence or a wall and is hardy.<\/p>\n

Sarcococca \u2014 \u2018hookeriana var. digyna\u2019<\/strong> The scent is stunning, although with\u00a0small white flowers it is as if you have a floral display in front of you. Use for cut\u00a0flowers to bring the gorgeous scent indoors.<\/p>\n

Rubus \u2014 \u2018thibetanus\u2019<\/strong>, a deciduous arching shrub with striking white stems in\u00a0winter.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Viburnum \u2014 \u2018tinus\u2019<\/strong> with white blooms opening from pink buds.<\/p>\n
