Plant of the Month
What's Looking Good |
Hellebores niger ‘Josef Lemper’
A particularly good form of the Christmas Rose with white flowers held well above the foliage and a long flowering season.
This is starting to flower now.
Mahonia x media ‘Lionel Fortescue’
The scented deep yellow flowers are out now backed with structural ruffs of evergreen foliage.
Easy in shade.
Skimmia reevesiana
A low growing variety with very large clusters of red berries for the size of the plant – these are often held right through until the following spring as they are not eaten by the birds.
It is evergreen and must have an acid soil – it also prefers some shade.
Pinus mugo ‘Carstens Wintergold’
An unusual dwarf pine whose colour intensifies as the temperature drops – the colder the golder!
Picea pungens 'Hoopsii'
Slow growing and good as a specimen plant in a lawn or low planting.
In a few years a great place to put your outdoor lights.
Imagine a perfectly tiered Christmas tree in ice blue.
