INSTANT COLOUR: WHAT TO PLANT RIGHT NOW
With the leaves gone from the trees, why not have some fun by bringing winter colour into the garden? Stalwarts for pots include primroses, violas, bellis daisies, heathers and cyclamen, but don’t rely on flowers alone as many plants will slow down when temperatures plummet. Mix bedding plants with ivies and young berrying shrubs such as Gaultheria mucronata, Skimmia japonica subsp, reevesiana or Skimmia ‘Rubella’.
