Primula vulgaris
(Also known as wild primrose)
These dainty hardy perennials thrive in any aspect but love a free draining soil. Often seen growing naturally in woodland areas
Mimosa
The fragrant Mimosa has beautifully feathered foliage which is covered with masses of fragrant yellow flowers in spring. It looks fantastic in a patio container but equally suited at the back of a border. Mimosa needs some protection from heavy frost
Hamamelis
The fiery red and yellow flowers of Witch Hazel trees can brighten up the coldest, greyest winter months. These citrus perfumed flowers look striking as they sit along the bare architectural structure of Hamamelis after the autumn coloured foliage has fallen.
