Flower gaps in Season
Can anyone suggest flowering plants for my south facing (slightly windy) garden here in west Scotland?
I am really talking about the early season Jan to March is a bit lacking- I do have a fair stock of evergreen shrubs and tulips/daffs. Are there any early begonias (which I am very partial to)?
Thanks in anticipation....

You can either add winter pansy, primrose or viola for instant colour of go for winter flowring shrubs or ones with berries such as Skimmia, pyracantha, viburnum, jasmine, sarcococa, or use hellebores which are very good for early colour.
Just google winter flowering plants and you will get loads of choices.

There are a lovely selection of winter flowering heathers which flower from January - March, in white, pink and purple. The flowers last for quite a long time and the early bees which are brave enough to venture out on sunny days absolutely love them. . I always think the best solution to this problem is to go to a local garden centre at the time you want the specific colours and see what is available then. that way you're more likely to get the colours and plants that you want at the time that you need them.
