Winter plants & flowers

There's nothing more magical than wandering through a British garden on a crisp, clear winter day. The sun, low in the sky, sparkling on elegant branches. The satisfying crunch of early morning frost underfoot, and the delicate scent of winter-flowering shrubs.

Holly berries bring a splash of colour to the festive season. Shortly after New Year, snowdrops poke their heads through the earth. Hints of spring arrive in late February as buds begin to appear on trees and the petals of early daffodils unfold. Warm up in the glasshouses of botanical gardens where you'll find countless exotic plants from across the world.
