| Evergreens
Evergreens are the backbone of the garden, providing form and colour all year. They come in a wide range of colours in addition to green, such as bronze, yellow, gold, and silver, all of which bring something to the party.
|
 | Attractive barks
With the leaves gone, it鈥檚 now the bark of deciduous trees and shrubs that attracts attention. Dogwoods, such as Cornus alba, and willows, such as Salix alba, are popular choices. Cut back hard each spring, they produce masses of colourful stems that look good all winter.
|
| Winter flowers
Winter bedding, such as Universal pansies and winter heathers, provides the main stay of colour in containers and mixed borders. There鈥檚 also plenty of wonderful winter-flowering shrubs, some of which have a beautiful perfume. Ones to try include mahonias, winter jasmine, witch hazel, shrubby honeysuckle and wintersweet.
