Here&#8217;s a nice spring planting combination.  Tulipa &#8216;Pink Diamond&#8217; with Lithodora &#8216;Heavenly Blue&#8217;.  There ia also Juniperus &#8216;Blue Star&#8217; to the left of the photo too.  Lithodora is a great plant though it needs trimming every so often to stop it getting woody.  This combination was an experiment.  We&#8217;ll be adding more Pink Diamonds this [...]]]></description>

One of our favourite plants for difficult shady spots is Brunnera macrophylla &#8216;Jack Frost&#8217;.  It works particularly well at the base of hedges or trees where the foliage really stands out.  Grown for its foliage that appears in the early spring and stays until the winter sets in.  In the spring dainty blue forget-me-not [...]]]></description>

One of our favourite spring perennials is Dicentra spectabilis commonly known as Bleeding Heart.  It thrives in a semi shady spot but can thrive in full sun as long as the soil stays moist.  It can work well either front or mid border.  The unusual flowers stand out in the garden and stay around during [...]]]></description>

Although there are some lovely Primulas available in the garden centres with bright colours we tend to only use them in winter containers.  We much prefer the native form Primula vulgaris which, with it&#8217;s pale yellow flowers and clump forming habit is a great addition at the base of trees, shrubs and hedges.

You know that Spring is on the way when you catch a glimpse of a clump of snowdrops.  These fantastic hardy woodland plants are traditionally seen as one of the first signs of winter&#8217;s passing.  To grow them successfully though they must be planted &#8220;in the green&#8221; &#8211; i.e. as plants rather than [...]]]></description>

Slow growing and gorgeous the Magnolia stellata is a perfect specimen for a small garden.  The beautiful white flowers appear in early spring before the bright green leaves.  If you get close, you&#8217;ll be able to catch it&#8217;s scent.
Contrast it against a dark evergreen background either in a border or a large container.  It likes [...]]]></description>
