Our favourite winter plants
Many people don’t think of winter being a prime time to work on their garden. In fact, many assume that this is the time to ‘put the garden to bed’.
But here at Man for all Seasons, we’re on a mission to improve winter’s dull, gloomy reputation. We love winter, and there’s so much colour on offer if you know the right places to look.
Here are some of our favourite vibrant wintry plants to liven up your garden this season:
Cornus alba ‘Siberica’ (red-barked dogwood)
Striking red stems last throughout the winter
Acer griseum (paperbark maple)
Delicate golden bark flakes away like thin sheets of paper
Mahonia x media ‘Winter Sun’ (Oregon grape)
A spiky plant with striking yellow scented flowers, followed by small blue berries
Sarcococca hookeriana (sweet box)
A small evergreen shrub with highly scented white flowers around Christmas through to spring
