Creating a Wonderful Winter Scene Around Your Garden Office
By Emma Heaton on 13th October, 2011
Flowers that thrive and flourish in the winter are particularly valuable to your garden. They are resilient against the elements and bring colour and elegance to dark and dreary days. Being able to step in to your garden on frosty mornings and still being greeted by a flowering fragrance and colourful foliage uplifts our spirits and encourages you to go outside despite the dismal English winters. Placing the flowers amongst the grounds next to your garden office will create an inspirational view out of the bi-fold doors. Here are selections of some of the resilient flowers that can survive in your winter garden:
Luteus
This flower brings a vibrant yellow colour that glows through a bare winter scene. It is complimented by its pleasant fragrance that can improve the dullest of days. The flowers line up along the empty branches bringing a pleasing appearance, placed next to your garden office, the buttercup yellow would let some light in to your working day.
Dawn
The fragrant shrub is another colourful addition to an ice-covered garden. The delicate looking white flowers are surprisingly resilient to the arrival of the frost and grow in clusters on the branches. When the flowers blossom a pink tinge is present in the petals, warming up the foliage in the coldest months. A generous amount of the flower usually grows on the branches so you can cut some off to display in the house without ruining the appearance of the shrub.
Gwenllian
Bringing the traditional winter berries, this plant is a valuable part of a winter garden. The deep pink buds that flourish in to white flowers combined with copious amounts of black berries bring the colours to the garden that you imagine when you think of the snow and icy conditions. The deep colours warm up your garden and will provide the perfect backdrop for your garden office. This plant will set a beautiful winter scene in your garden.
