Wonderful Winter Shrubs

Plants for people who don't do 'putting the garden to bed for winter'.

Can't see an empty border without reaching for the trowel? Us too! Don't lock your tools in the shed when the perennials die back, fill the gaps with winter shrubs. And when the perennials come back in the spring? Your shrubs will provide the perfect backdrop, adding height, texture and contrast.
