Question

So what’s growing in the garden right now? I need ideas for what to plant for next year to give me colour over the spring/summer.  

Answer 1

If you want a shrub i absolutely love this type. It's ever green and the new growth in march is a beautiful bright red that fades gradually it also has lovely little white flowers really early which is great for bees coming out of hibernation xx
