Winter garden in January…

Love the contrast of colours and foliage in your border,Angela,you would never guess it's January ! x

Thank you…. this is one of my favourite evergreen borders… really cheers me up….

It looks beautiful. Any chance of a list of what's in there, DD?

Anget….I don’t know where to start…. From left…Arbutus…. Drimys…Coprosma….Corokia x2….Correas x2…ceanothus…. Dodonoea…Griselinia….. Pittosporums several
Pseudopanax Sophora….Lavender …….

Marvellous sight in January! I am feeling envious. Did you plan it all out first or did it gradually develop? (nice to hear from you!)

It looks so colourful Dotty! I agree, you wouldn't think it was January either!

Thanks, DD. That sounds like a very long border or are you a demon pruner/cutter back? Also pleased to see you again!

That is a beautiful and colourful border! All the different shapes and sizes...year round interest too! Thanks for posting, I can see why it's a favourite 😊

it would be my fav too if I had such a lovely border. I am too alkaline for many of the shrubs mentioned.

All looks good in your garden, Dotty . . . :o)

Looking wonderful as usual. Great selection of evergreen upright shrubs.

It really does look beautiful and thank you for listing the plants. Such a well planned area to give winter colour.

It look fabulous Dd as always, love all the different colours you have..

Thanks to Janey….Wildrose….Siris..Shirley…Seaburn…. Kate…Anget for all your kind comments……
Well last week the head gardener decided he wanted to remove the Ceanothus!……so one thing led to another…. You know what it’s like when you have the bit between your teeth….out came the blueberry
(forgot to mention that was in there) one Correa… a Corokia a Coprosma and the Ceanothus!! That left a spindly 4 ft Daphne (forgot to mention that too and a Lagerstroemia…..Oh did I not mention that? that was the HGs reason for cleaning out the border…..more room for his favourite tree/shrub bought in France many…many moons ago…….. so now we have spaces……. well of course we have filled them……. more to follow 😄😄😄😄😄

Lovely colourful border, Dd.
