subject: Gardeners Add Colour With Winter Flowering Garden Plants [print this page] Keen gardeners all over the UK are looking to make their gardens look beautiful with winter flowering plants; this is just the tonic to provide a splash of colour during the cold dreary colder months. A garden with a bit of winter colour lifts everyones spirits during this cold wet time.
Flowers are a delight in any garden and there are so many garden plants availably, such as a range of flowering trees, garden shrubs, bulbs and perennials that will flower during the colder months of winter and will of course add life to the garden.
The flowers that bloom in the winter months can be planted close to paths also used as container plants, many of these plants will flower late in winter in very cold areas, and winter flowering plants need to be planted where they can be seen and appreciated, and when planted in tubs or containers they can be positioned to best advantage and many of these flowers cope well with rain, wind and snow.
Pieris Japonica is just one example of plants that can be grown in a tub or container and will flower in late winter, snowdrops are a great bulb and is capable of pushing through snow, planted in a border or rock garden will look fantastic or even plant into the lawn will make a very delicate and lovely show in the winter.
A good quality garden centre will certainly know what you can plant and where to plant whatever you decide to plant in your garden to keep the interest going through the winter, there are many garden shrubs that need little work that will either give you beautiful foliage, or berries or even flowers at this time of the year.
There is so much one can do to bring a garden alive in the winter, purchase bedding plants that can survive in the winter and plant in hanging baskets, hang them in a prominent place where the blooms can be enjoyed by all.
Plug plants can give a garden a kick start and give a look of a more mature garden, but of course many gardeners will only use garden seeds to plant and bring on their own seedlings, this is absolutely fine, whatever method of gardening it will look wonderful.
The faithful gardener will find plenty to do in the garden all year round, either pruning at this time of the year for some plants, making sure leaves are collected and put on the compost heap, tying up tall plants that could be damaged in high winds, and putting protection around more delicate plants.
A spokesman for Blooming Direct a horticultural online business on the island of Jersey said gardeners are very clever with their gardens, and will plant in the most inventive places, gardening is now a very popular hobby, and we are busy shipping out all sorts of garden plants all over the UK and beyond, and orders to the UK are absolutely FREE.
