Whilst many of our favourite plants shout for our attention throughout the year some sit quietly in our gardens for most of the year with an air of modesty. They block unsightly views, they fill corners, they provide evergreen background to more colourful cousins, they can filter out noise and all without demanding much in return….until their one subtle moment of glory.

Garrya Elliptica is one such ; given its head and allowed to grow to its full size it can be magnificent in the cold days of late winter. To often it isn’t allowed to stretch its limbs to a graceful rounded large shrub and is hacked back rather than sympathetically pruned. Left alone though the flower display is stunning.

Philip Read, plant area manager at Podington Garden centre is a fan though and describes the ‘Silk tassel bush’ as arguably one of the finest winter garden plants.

“ It’s catkins remain draped over the evergreen grey underside sea green leaves, opening from their budded stage in November and December through to the yellowish and dusty beige-grey of mid spring. You need the male selection of the plant to get the biggest and best catkins, the best known form is ‘James Roof’ the catkins have a real grace and beauty.  James Roof is often written about as having the longest catkins, (30cm), but the form sold at Podington is known as ‘male select’”

A mature shrub has a real presence in the garden at this time of year and is wonderful to see with its catkins dripping from every branch. If you can find the room in your garden it is well worth the space for the unexpected pleasure it gives in these cold days.

As winter sets in and the morning frosts become commonplace, many green-fingered individuals may feel a touch of sadness as they say goodbye to their flowers and shrubbery until next spring. Although many plants simply cannot continue to thrive in cold and icy conditions, helleborus plants are quite different and could alleviate your winter blues. If you have heard of this winter flowering plant but are a little confused as to where to start, the professional garden designers Bedford here at Eden Landscapes are on hand with a fantastic array of helpful advice and information.

Helleborus plants are actually a member of the buttercup family and are popular due to the fact that they prefer cooler climates. When the delicate planting scheme of the summer has ended, you can rest assured this robust alternative will continue to add vibrancy to your garden no matter whether it is large, small, contemporary or traditional.

So many other flowering plants can be notoriously difficult to bring into full fruition, yet the helleborus blooms incredibly well in tough surroundings, with as many as 15-20 flowers visible at one time. This means you needn’t worry about spending hours in the garden tending to your winter additions in freezing temperatures to see impressive results.

When kept in cool greenhouses, you could see the plant begin to flower by late November, although if you choose to leave the plant outside you can expect to see colourful bursts towards the end of January which could provide the perfect Valentines gift for a loved one due to the beautiful pinks and reds they mature to when left in cool temperatures.

If you are seeking inspiration for a winter garden that provides just as much pleasure as your summer planting scheme, we at Eden Landscapes strongly recommend helleborus plants to breathe life and colour into an outside space during the colder months. With many species available, do not hesitate to get in touch with our expert team of garden designers Bedford today to discover all we have to offer.

Gardens come in many sizes and shapes and they mean different things to different people, but something that should be common to all gardens is that you should enjoy something about them all the time and our team of professional garden designers Northampton here at Eden Landscapes strive help you achieve this.

With the best will in the world as the weather gets colder and the skies greyer none of us likes to stray outdoors too often but that doesn’t mean a well designed garden hasn’t anything to offer in the colder months and maybe tempt you out into the fresh air. It’s not hard to get a colourful, interesting garden in spring and summer. A quick visit down the garden centre will sort that out no matter how inexperienced with planting and design in the garden you might be. A good garden designer though can stretch that interest out through the year even when you might think there is nothing going on out there.

Trees and shrubs can be picked for late autumn leaf colour…… Euonymus alatus compactus with its bright red leaf colouring for instance. There are also some Berberis, which colour up well and also Cotinus, the smoke bush can be stunning. It’s surprising how many roses are still flowering into autumn, old favourites such as Buff Beauty or Madame Alfred Carriere will often supply enough flowers to pick for a last echo of summer. As the colder weather progresses other plants come to attention such as Viburnam bodnantense, the pale pink flowers on this large shrub can appear right through the winter and have the benefit of a strong pleasing scent that will cheer you up on a cold day as you walk past.

The dogwoods have wonderful stem colour revealed as they drop leaves, as long as they have been pruned to encourage new growth bright reds and orange/yellows stand out even from a distance. Closer to home there are Hellebores flowering in the coldest weather as well as the early crowd pleasers such as Snowdrops. By the time the bulbs we are all familiar with daffodils and then tulips arrive with the brighter days of spring a well designed garden will already have provided plenty of winter colour and interest.

There are many other ideas that can be incorporated to create interest and the garden should above all be your garden shaped by how you want to use it. It is the job of our garden designers Northampton to provide the ideas to make that happen and leave you with a better garden.
