Winter flowering shrubs.



When the weather is cold and wet in January you can still find something in flower in the garden,



Winter flowering Honeysuckle (Lonicera Fragrantissima), Chanaenomeles, Camellias and Hamamelis (Witch Hazel), winter flowering heathers and Sarcococca to name a few all give a great show and some give a fantastic scent as a bonus



With early spring bulbs beginning to flower as well, get out in the garden and visit some of the large gardens open to the public and get some inspiration for your own private garden.

Herbaceous Borders create a great display of colour throughout the year, starting with Heleborous in early spring and the bright yellow of Doronicum, summer perennials such as Lupins and Delphiniums give tall spike like flowers that can be planted in amongst shrubs in a mixed perennial and shrub border, late flowering species such as Anemones, Rudbeckia and Verbena Bonariensis give a mass of colours when others are finishing.
There is something to suit everyone and St Bridget's have a large choice available, so come and visit to see what we have or visit our website for a full plant list including trees,shrubs, and fruit as well as perennials.
