Potted colours like dianthus, cornflower, pansy, viola, verbena and lupins will look pretty and help attract bees to your garden.
Hellebores, also known as ‘winter roses’, are perfect for full to partly shaded spots and are a delight during the cooler months of the year, putting on a prolific display of large, bell, shaped flowers throughout winter.
Hellebore ‘Molly’s White’ and ‘Penny’s Pink’ are two gorgeous hellebores. Although they look delicate, they’re tough plants that don’t require much water once established. Feed hellebores every six weeks during periods of new foliage with an organic soil improver and plant fertiliser.
Native to South Africa, Leucadendrons provide welcome splashes of colour in the winter garden and the variety ‘Bella’s Buttons’ has stunning yellow foliage with striking red centres in late winter and early spring. It’s a dwarf leucadendron with a rounded growth habit, reaching a compact 45cm high and wide.
Leucadendrons are quite frost resistant (down to –5 degrees celsius) and respond well to a yearly mid-spring prune, which helps maintain their size and shape.
