In colours ranging from pinky-red to lilac, yellow, white and lavender, this is a versatile genus that includes some fantastic varieties that will put on a mid-winter show. D. bholua, D. odora and D. mezereum all flower over winter and produce fantastically fragrant blossom too.

But beware – the fruits of these plants are considered highly toxic and because of their bright colours can be attractive to young children and inquisitive dogs and cats!
