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...

Abeliophyllum distichum (White forsythia)

A close up of Abeliophyllum Distichum shows the small clusters of white flowers at the top of the stem.

A shrub that likes a warm, sheltered position. It is hardy and can withstand low temperatures, but won’t tolerate an exposed or shady spot.

Carex oshimensis ‘Evergold’ (evergreen sedge)

Carex oshimensis

A low maintenance plant that just needs a comb out of autumn leaves and a freshen up in spring.

Filed Under: Plant of the month January Winter

Asarum europaeum (Wild Ginger)

The large kidney-shaped shiny green leaves of this Wild Ginger make good ground cover.

A creeping, evergreen perennial that can be seen covering the floor of central European woods, as ivy does in British woods.

Crataegus monogyna (Hawthorn)

This autumn has seen plenty of berries (haws) on our native hawthorn.

Aster ageratoides ‘Ashvi’

A bee settles on the bright yellow centre of this white-petalled Michaelmas daisy

Starting in September, these pretty white daisies are flowering en masse by October and will carry on until the onset of cold weather stops them.
