What's Hot Right Now

Presenting some stunning-looking plants that will make excellent additions to your garden at this time of year

HELLEBORE ‘ANNE’S RED’ PBR, HELLEBORUS HYBRID

The plant: This is an absolute breakthrough variety, with outstanding red-to-burgundy flowers from early winter right through to early spring every year. The flowers are held proudly above the lush dark green, leathery foliage on long stems, making this an ideal cut flower to bring indoors and enjoy.

Growing: Hellebores put on an elegant display in a shaded to semi-shaded spot in your garden but they will happily grow in a decorative pot. Feed in late autumn and again in spring and remove spent flowers at the base of the stem.

RHUBARB ‘WINTER WONDER’, RHEUM HYBRID

The plant: As its name suggests, ‘Winter Wonder’ thrives in the cold. When other varieties are ready to be chopped in preparation for their spring flush, this beauty stands tall with deep red stems and green pointed leaves.
