One thing which you should have done by now in your efforts to maintain the beauty of your garden is planting a few winter flowering bulbs. These are essential for any top quality garden, as it will give your garden a splash of colour all year round, long after the perennial plants have receded.
Begonia Flowers are great examples of flowers that last long after the end of summer. Their flowers first appear in summertime, but are of the long-lasting variety of plants, and stretch into the end of November.
Crocus’s are another variety of plants which you can plant and enjoy the benefit of during Autumn to early winter. They aren’t fond of wet weather, so they are ideal for slightly sheltered areas, such as under an awning, tree or canopy.
Snowdrops are one of the most iconic winter flowers. These are known for being able to flower throughout the depths of winter, and are ideal for decorating flowerbeds for those periods when nothing else is flowering.
