Leucothoe ax ..'Zeblid '

I like these, they're so good for winter colour.
That's a beautiful shape and size plant, Amy.

Thanks Louise , I've been trying to buy small conifers and shrubs with winter colour to go under my front window , We have dug out a bed of ornimental grass there which was spreading everywhere , even into the lawn , hopefully this idea will be much better ........

Winter colour is so important or else you have a bit of a dreary garden though winter .... much like my front garden :-/
I'm trying to incorporate more winter coloured shrubs too, to place in the herbaceous borders out the front.

Looking forward to seeing your new bed when its done, like this plant.

Those leaves are a smashing colour...does it have small blue flowers Amy? So many plants have died this winter, my garden is really dreary Louise...even the Helibore buds are still frozen to the ground...:o(

lovely amy, im looking for some dark foilage for new area :o)

Janey, i'm 'willing' and urging spring to hurry along here ;-)
It's coming, slowly .... it'd better be a wonderful gardening year though - or else !!!

Thanks everyone .. it says .. small white flowers in April -May Janey , my Hellibore are still struggling as well ...
