The last few weeks have certainly felt like winter is well on the way. Temperatures are starting to drop and the rain is starting to fall. It’s not only the rain that is beginning to fall, with many of the trees starting to lose their leaves and this alone can make a garden start to look very bleak.
If you want your garden to look nice all year round, then you spend to spend some time researching what plants and shrubs will last and which ones are only seasonal.
Heathers are always a good option, they come in some beautiful colours and often need very little maintenance. They can spread quite quickly and often flower all year round. The sedum family is perfect for those looking for a hardy all year round plant. They can survive hot summers with very little water but also harsh winter months. The Dragon Blood plant has rich green leaves with red edges and has deep red blooms towards the end of summer. Not only that but during the autumn month, the whole plant turns red, the perfect way to brighten up any winter garden.
