This is a distinguished evergreen shrub that was once highly valued when there were less plants to choose from that retain their leaves in winter.
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...
Osmanthus heterophyllus ‘Goshiki’
Usually mistaken for a type of holly, Osmanthus are compact, evergreen shrubs grown for their attractive prickly foliage. Their common name is the Holly Olive.
Callicarpa bodinieri var. giraldii ‘Profusion’
The red, orange and yellows of the season are all too fleeting, so how wonderful it is to be surprised by the colour purple at this time of year.
Malus ‘Evereste’ (Crab Apple)
I often use crab apples in planting schemes where a garden can accommodate a small to medium size tree.
Persicaria amplexicaulis ‘Firetail’ (Red Bistort)
This handsome hardy perennial catches your eye at this time of year when other plants can look a bit tired.
