• Witch hazel could be another one for winter interest. I’m trying to find a spot to get some in our back garden before next winter.

    If you get the right Japanese/Chinese hybrid it’s apparently got a fantastic nutmeg-like scent and great flowers starting from January.

    A section of a video here banging on about them, starting at ~3minutes in: https://youtu.be/lW-mk19eGSQ?feature=shared&t=182

  • They look cool. I really struggle with that lady.

    Anyway, too late. I've pulled the trigger. White forsythia and magnolia shrubs to cover the bins. 'Fire Power' to grow in front of the peony - sort of referencing the 'Red Robin' bushes we have on the street side wall.

    The hellebore collection for under the fur tree at the back and probably in a couple of other places - probably the two light ones underneath the forsythia / magnolia.

    Plus some others just because.

    Yeah, gardening content is generally presented by a peculiar set of people. Nice trees though!

    Your selection sounds really nice, post some photos when you’re done 🙂

  • We have a senecio cineraria, the goldfinches rip it to shreds to use as nesting material every year
