Winter col

Hi,

I'm new to gardening and am looking for advice on winter colour.

I have some great shrubs/plants but wondered if there were any bedding plants which would add some colour over the winter months?

Thanks

 

Welcome to Gardeners Corner jmac. Bedding plants are annuals for summer planting and will die off as the weather starts to chill. Some do self seed though like Lobelia and will grow again the following year.

You could try winter pansies, Cyclamen and various early flowering spring bulbs like snowdrops. That's just a few. I'm sure others here will be able to add to these for you.

 

Primroses as well! Lovely and bright.

 

for a shady bed, here are a few with good foilage that flower in november:

some heuchera always look good:
