Now is a great time to start putting plant supports in the garden as spring growth begins.

I`ve been using some sunshine to get out with a clipboard and draw diagrams of what was planted where in the borders in the autumn. This is a new little shade border, which showcases plants for you and also provides propagation material. Billy😊🌱
A the nursery with Billy and Lonicera fragrantissima ‘Winter Honeysuckle.’
Grown and known for its beautiful white flowers that pump out perfume from the end of December until March. It’s really lovely to bring inside to scent a room.

Snowdrops are a delightful harbinger of Spring and we’ve been enjoying them a lot lately – they’ve been a brightness in the gloom!

At the nursery with Billy and Cornus mas.
In the genus of dogwoods it doesn’t really look like a dogwood at all. Its vibrant clusters of flowers will fade and start forming fruit – little bright red cherries that you can eat.

Miscanthus sinensis ‘Malepartus’ is an old variety that has really stood the test of time and is still loved to this day.
It is a tall, upright grass with silver veins down the centre of the leaves.
Scroll through to see the red-purple flowers that are produced in late summer. They fade to buff and last well into winter.
Plant in full sun, in a well-drained soil as they dislike winter wet.
