Winter-flowering shrubs lift the soul on grey days. Not only do they provide a welcome burst of colour, the blooms are often scented to help pollinators find them at a time when there are very few food sources available. If you’re looking for the best plants and flowers for winter colour, we’ve shared lots of helpful ideas below.
The best time to plant winter-flowering shrubs is early spring or autumn, when the soil is still workable and the weather is favourable. If you get them planted in autumn, your shrubs will have the chance to get used to their new environment and develop strong roots before winter arrives.
For something a little different for your patio containers, try Brazilian Fuchsia, which has striking scarlet and yellow flowers. Sarcococca confusa is a scented evergreen that’s perfect for a container and Erica x darleyensis is another good choice for a winter container display. Grow camellias in pots if you don’t have the acid soil they require – simply fill them with ericaceous compost. Browse our range of decorative pots and containers suitable for outdoor displays.
Sarcococca hookeriana ‘Purple Gem’ makes a lovely low evergreen hedge that’s also scented. Other suitable plants are Viburnum tinus ‘Lisarose’, Elaeagnus pungens, Elaeagnus ebbingei, and the Cornelian Cherry.
