Winter Interest Shrub Collection

We’ve put together a special collection of shrubs, especially for the winter months when little else is happening in the garden. These wonderful shrubs will not only give you some much needed winter outdoor foliage, but will also enhance your outdoor space by lifting your spirits with delightful bright seasonal colours. Each variety has been especially chosen on its own individual merits, and as a collection they are guaranteed to add a special touch to your winter garden.

Your collection will contain the following varieties:

Cornus sanguinea ‘Winter Flame’ – Grown for its colourful winter stems, this spectacular Dogwood will really brighten up the garden during those cold, grey days. Cloaked in green foliage throughout summer, Cornus sanguinea ‘Winter Flame’ bears tiny white flowers followed by glossy black berries. 

Skimmia japonica ‘Rubella’ – This compact, evergreen shrub is a popular choice for borders and patio containers, where plants will provide colour and interest all year round. Skimmia japonica ‘Rubella’ is a male clone bearing rosettes of glossy, aromatic leaves. 

Photinia x fraseri ‘Red Robin’ – The best known of its species, Photinia ‘Red Robin’ is well loved for its blaze of bright scarlet young foliage in spring. The glossy new leaves and crimson stems make a strong contrast with the mature green foliage lower down the plant, giving an eye catching two-tone effect.
