Plant of the month

Each month I choose one of my favourite plants relevant for the season. So many to choose from, so little time...

Cyclamen coum

When all around seems grey, a clump of bright pink Cyclamen coum grabs my attention

Camellia x vernalis ‘Yuletide’

As its name suggests, it flowers during the festive season

Cotoneaster ‘Cornubia’

A fast growing shrub or small tree with masses of bright red berries throughout autumn

Viburnum farreri (var. fragrans)

Bears clusters of sweetly scented white flowers opening from pink buds in late autumn

Salvia ‘Amistad’

This has become a bit of a celebrity salvia in the past couple of years
