You can start from scratch, or you can repurpose your Summer planter. All you need to do is just take away some of the older plants and add some fresh compost.

Items needed:

Winter Plants

We also stock a range of evergreen plants, which look great all year round. Our top recommendation for evergreen plants would be a Silverbush plant, or you could opt for a Martini plant which has a beautiful ice-pink flower that deepens throughout the summer months. The Skimmia Rubelle is another great option to add to your garden as it keeps its dark red flower buds throughout the winter and flowers in the Spring.

Polytunnels

If you are still struggling with your garden this Winter then check out our website to see a great selection of Polytunnels. Polytunnels are a great investment for winter planting as they give you the ability to regulate the temperature during the winter months and they allow you to protect your plants from frost and harsh winds.
