Hellebores - the Christmas rose
Now Christmas is over, the Hellebores, otherwise known as Christmas roses, are just coming into flower. They are stunning plants! ⁠ ⁠ Best planted in a raised bed so that the beauty of the nodding flowers can be seen at their best. Great plants for a shady spot, every garden should have at least one variety to cheer up our winter days. 😍🌸⁠ ⁠

Mistletoe
Recently, mistletoe has become more common in the UK, particularly into eastern areas. It's thought that this may be due in part to an influx of continental blackcaps from Germany that have started overwintering in Britain.⁠ ⁠ On eating the white flesh of the mistletoe berry, the birds wipe their bills on twigs and branches, leaving behind the seed. If the seed is deposited on a host tree and manages to take hold, a mistletoe plant might germinate on the branch.

English ivy, Hedera helix
The English ivy, Hedera helix has many uses around the garden. It can be used to cover shady walls and trained to climb up or spread out along a low wall. Being evergreen, Hedera helix is perfect for covering pergola poles, or creating a leafy backdrop. It’s great for attracting wildlife too, providing a late source of nectar and pollen for insects, and berries for birds in winter. Be careful when handling it if you have sensitive skin as its sap can be irritating.

Lonicera fragrantissima, the winter honeysuckle
Lonicera fragrantissima, the winter honeysuckle covers itself in creamy-white, highly fragrant flowers. Like most winter-flowering species, its scent is so strong that it carries for some distance to guide in those pollinators that are still on the wing. Left to its own devices, winter honeysuckle grows into a large shrub, but I grow mine as a climber on a trellis. It also makes a lovely cut flower, so you can cut a few sprigs to enjoy inside if the weather out is too much to bear!

Space-saving ideas for growing fruit trees
Now is the ideal time of year for planting new fruit trees for training. I saw these young fruit tree cordons at Waterperry Gardens @waterperrygardens last month, planted at an angle. Although space is not really a problem there, this is a great solution for people who want to grow fruit in a smaller garden.
Mahonia is a fantastic plant for winter colour when there is very little else flowering. They cope with a shady position in the garden so it’s a good one to use under a tree. Plants that flower in winter have to work hard to attract the few insects around so they usually smell wonderful, and this is no exception.

Choisya ternata makes a perfect specimen plant or informal hedge. The Mexican orange blossom is perfectly hardy but can suffer in a really cold winter. Choisya Ternata, Orange Blossom, Garden Wall

Liriope
Liriope comes in to its own in the early autumn when it produces flower spikes with small, long-lasting purple or white flowers. It is an undemanding, evergreen perennial with grass-like leaves for the front of dry, shady borders. Still flowering!

Paper-bark tree (Acer griseum)
I spotted one of my favourite trees @waterperrygardens…acer griseum with its tactile, cinnamon coloured, peeling bark (hence the common name Paper-bark tree.) It gives year-round interest but especially in winter when you can really see the bark. It reaches a height and spread of 5 x 4 metres in 20 years, making it a great choice for smaller gardens.
