🌱 Feeding citrus plants correctly makes such a difference. Plenty of flowers and fruit on the way! I’ve really been on it this year. They will be going outside in April (the don’t like staying in too late). Just need to stay on top of the whitefly!

Galanthus ‘S. Arnott’ is very similar to the species but bigger and scented. A little group like this at Rode Hall looks like a sea of pearls suspended in mid air! #galanthus #galanthussarnott #snowdrop #stalwartplants #winterflowers #rodehall

Hellebore season. I think the green and purple contrast beautifully and pulling off the old leaves lets the flower stalks shine. #helleborus #hellebore #winterflowers

This silk tassel bush, Garrya elliptica, festooned with silvery catkins, makes quite an arresting sight. #garrya #garryaelliptica #evergreen #floweringshrub #winterflowers

A young Rhododendron falconeri I spotted at Arley Hall. I love the beautiful big dark green leaves with the rusty felted underside. Maybe a good candidate for #foliagefriday! #rhododendron #rhododendronfalconeri #foliage

Ipheion uniflorum 'Charlotte Bishop' just coming into the main flowering season and the first stock in many years added to the website yesterday. A good doer for well drained soil in full sun. #peatfree #plantsforsale #mailorderplants #gardening 🌿 #ipheion #ipheionuniflorum

Stinking hellebore, Helleborus foetidus. Nice contrast between the dark foliage and the pale green flowers. The foliage is beautifully delicate too. #hellebore #helleborus #helleborusfoetidus #winterflowers

I love Erica carnea, winter flowering heather. A plant that I’ve always grown in my gardens and that looks so colourful when the days can be bleak. #erica #ericacarnea #winterflowers #horticulture #gardening

It’s sometimes lamented that you can’t see inside the flowers of a lot of oriental hellebores but I actually like to see the graceful shape of their nodding heads. #hellebore #winterflowers #horticulture #gardening

The indoor hyacinths have gone more floppy than usual this year so they had to be supported against the wall. They still look beautiful though in their mug shot! And they smell amazing! #hyacinths #hyacinth #springbulbs #flowers
