winter garden interest
Keep the parade of flowers and foliage going throughout your winter garden
Helleborus x ballardiae HGC INR 'Merlin'
My-oh-my this hellebore is incredible. It has beautiful dark, slate grey-green leaves and then smoky pink flowers which gradually darken to crimson
Helleborus 'Penny's Pink' (Rodney Davey Marbled Group)
Prolific dusky pink flowers carried above silver-marbled foliage which is flushed pink when it emerges in spring
Helleborus x sahinii 'Winterbells'
Grown as a houseplant, cut flower or border perennial for dappled shade, this newly bred hellebore flowers almost all year – I love it!
Helleborus x ballardiae 'Maestro'
If I was only allowed to take one winter-flowering perennial to a desert island, it would be this
Nandina domestica 'Richmond'
A real head-turner in autumn and winter with foliage the colour of bonfires, flashed red and bronze
Cornus sanguinea 'Anny Winter Orange'
A fire in your garden all winter long with stems that are golden at the base and brilliant red at their tips
Sarcococca hookeriana 'Winter Gem'
This is a plant that you'll sniff out before you've seen it - with a beautiful jasmine scent which wafts around the garden in mid winter
Mahonia x media 'Charity'
Late-winter flowers with the most exquisite perfume, this lights up a boring, shady corner, just when we need it most
Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Collaig Silver'
A stalwart for winter and spring picking, this is a brilliant filler and gives good winter architecture in a sheltered spot in the garden
Handsome Winter Lettuce Collection
Our selection from the good performers in our autumn into winter hardy lettuce trial last autumn
Rosemary 'Foxtail'
I love this silvery, bushy spreading Rosemary, as handsome in winter as it is through the growing season
Winter Kale Collection
A truly-the-best-of-the-kales collection, with little and large of both the 'Red Bor' and Tuscan Kale types, with 'Peacock' there for contrast
Rosemary 'Majorca Pink'
We all know and love the deep-blue and grey-blue rosemaries, but I fell on this soft pink this spring, so pretty surrounded by all our pink tulips in the Farmhouse Garden
Viola cornuta 'Tiger Eye Red' F1
I hope I have not said it too often with the new introductions in this catalogue, but this truly is one of my favourite discoveries of our trials last year
Sherbet Candy Viola Collection
The Frizzle Sizzle series violas divide people strongly. You’ll either find them too froufrou for words, or love their craziness
Viola x wittrockiana 'Peach Shades' F1
I absolutely love the warm, soft colours in this mix which flowers in a sheltered spot from late winter all the way through spring
