Plant Associations It is sad to reflect that in England so few gardens open to the public label their plants or label them so that the label is visible when that plant is in flower, so that visitors can identify; and then later locate and purchase that plant. Few mail-order nurseries provide the detail as shown in my rose or heather galleries. If you want to sell a product, it is best to display it. When I sold my Transit van, I removed its signage, cleaned it and took photos of the inside and outside before putting them onto an advert in Autotrader amongst more than 2000 other Transit vans - it was sold in 20 minutes. If mail-order nurseries could put photos to the same complexity from start of the year to its end with the different foliage colours and stages of flowering on Wikimedia Commons, then the world could view the plant before buying it, and idiots like me would have valid material to work with. I have been in the trade (until ill health forced my Sole Trader retirement in 2013) working in designing, constructing and maintaining private gardens for decades and since 2005 when this site was started, I have asked any nursery in the world to supply photos. R.V. Roger in Yorkshire allowed me to use his photos from his website in 2007 and when I got a camera to spend 5 days in July 2014 at my expense taking photos of his roses growing in his nursery field, whilst his staff was propagating them. I gave him a copy of those photos. |
The following plants come from Colour all the Year In My Garden: A selection of choice varieties - annuals, biennials, perennials, bulbs, climbers and trees and shrubs - that will give a continuity of colour in the garden throughout the year. Edited by C.H. Middleton. Gardening Book from Ward, Lock & Co published in 1938, provides plant data for a calendar of plants in bloom throughout the year and for those in the smallest garden. |

The following plants come from the Plants for November in the Plants for Every Month chapter of In Your Garden with Percy Thrower. First published in 1959, revised edition published in 1973, Eighth impression published in 1977 by The Hamlyn Publishing Group Limited. ISBN 0 600 34840 7. |
||||||||
Asparagus (Ornamental types) |
|
|
Generally 12-36 x |
|
Cool greenhouse perennials |
Of especial value for decoration throughout the year, particularly in winter, are the feather-foliaged Asparagus plumosus, Asparagus asparagoides with long, green shoots - both are suitable for growing in pots or in the greenhouse border - and Asparagus sprengeri which is excellent for growing in hanging baskets. It has needle-like, drooping foliage. All need a minimum winter temperature of 10 degrees Centigrade (50 degrees Fahrenheit) |
|
|
Codiaeum variegatum varieties (Crotons) |
|
|
36-120 x |
|
Warm greenhouse, evergreen shrub |
These are splendid plants for year-round interest in the greenhouse with their ornamental, variegated foliage. They need a minimum winter temperature of 13 degrees Centigrade (55 degrees Fahrenheit) and plenty of light to bring out the colour in the leaves. |
|
|
Euphorbia pulcherrima (Poinsettia) |
|
|
12-72 x |
|
Warm greenhouse shrub. |
This is the plant whose brightly coloured bracts are so appreciated at Christmas time. Although specially treated plants are now available in 1973 for display all the year round, Percy Thrower still thinks that it is best as a plant for November to February display. |
|
|
Iris unguicularis (Iris stylosa) |
|
|
12 x |
|
Rhizomatous perennial |
Beautiful deep lilac flowers, with yellow keel and white suffused lilac throat from November to March. Plant in a sunny, sheltered position, preferably below a south wall. The soil should not be too rich. |
|
|
Jasminum nudiflorum (Winter Jasmine) |
|
|
120-144 x |
|
Sh D |
A superb shrub with bright yellow flowers borne on leafless stems from November to February. It will grow in almost any soil which is well drained, and is suitable for a north-facing wall. |
|
|
Jasminum polyanthum |
|
|
Up to 120 x |
|
Cool greenhouse, evergreen, climbing shrub |
Popular climber bearing clusters of white, fragrant flowers from late November to March. Place pot-grown specimens outside for the summer to ripen the wood. |
|
|
Prunus subhirtella autumnalis |
|
|
Up to 300 x |
|
Tr D |
The winter-flowering cherry is a delightful small tree which bears its semi-double, white flowers intermittently from November to February. It likes reasonably good soil and an open position. |
|
|
Tradescantias |
|
|
6-12 x |
|
Cool greenhouse perennials |
The attraction of these plants is their variegated foliage and their graceful trailing habit. A good variety is 'Quick Silver', which is less likely to become straggly than others. Tradescantia zebrina quadricolor (correctly called Zebrina pendula quadricolor now) has leaves marked with cream, green, grey and red. |
|
|
Viburnum fragrans |
|
|
Up to 108-120 x 84-96 |
|
Sh D |
An excellent winter-flowered shrub with fragrant, pink-tinged, white blooms. Puts up a good display from early November till March and will provide sprays for cutting and bringing indoors. Grow in loamy soil in an open, sunny position. |

||||||||
Chimonanthus praecox (Winter Sweet) |

|
Cinerarias |
|
|
9-30 x |
|
Cool greenhouse perennials, but treated as annuals |
Excellent plants for a greenhouse with a minimum winter temperature of 7 degrees Centigrade (45 degrees Fahrenheit). For the smallest greenhouses, the best choice are the 'Multiflora Nana' strains, but with more room the 'Grandiflora' hybrids and the 'Stellata' type are better. |
|
|
Cornus alba (Dogwood) |
|
|
108-120 x 108-120 |
|
Sh D |
The coloured bark of Cornus alba and its varieties make them valuable shrubs for the winter garden. The species itself has red bark, and that of its variety sibirica, known as the Westonbirt Dogwood, bright crimson. Cornus stolonifera is a vigourous, suckering species with dark red shoots, and its variety flaviramea with yellow stems is known as Yellow-barked Dogwood. |
|
|
Dracaenas |
|
|
12-72 x |
|
Warm greenhouse, evergreen perennials |
These decorative foliage plants need a minimum winter temperature of 13 degrees Centigrade (55 degrees Fahrenheit). Particularly attractive are the trailing Dracaena godesffiana, which has dark green leaves marked with cream spots, and Dracaena sanderiana, with sword-like leaves of green, margined with silver. |
|
|
Elaeagnus pungens aureo-variegata |
|
|
144-180 x 144-180 |
|
Sh E |
This variety, with its bright green and creamy-yellow variegated leaves, is a splendid shrub for winter colour in the garden. Grow in well-drained soil in sun or part shade. |
|
|
Hyacinths |
|
|
9-12 x |
|
Cool greenhouse, bulbous plants |
These popular spring flowers are excellent for forcing in time for Christmas. The Roman hyacinths, with spikes of fragrant white and pink flowers, are also suitable for an early show. |
|
|
Ilex aquifolium |
|
|
Generally 120-180 tall but up to 840 x |
|
Tr E |
The common English Holly has many varieties, some of great decorative value, like the silver-variegated Ilex aquifolium argenteo-marginata pendula, a weeping variety which carries a good crop of berries; and Ilex aquifolium Golden King', also free-berrying, and with gold-margined leaves. Hollies are not fussy about soil and will grow in sun or shade. |
|
|
Primulas |
|
|
6-18 x |
|
Cool greenhouse perennials, but treated as annuals |
The 3 primulas most often grown under glass are Primula obsonica, whose main display season is winter and early spring; Primula malacoides, with whorls of flowers in shades of red, pink, and lilac; and Primula sinensis with many colours and flower forms. These, too, are winter flowering. |
|
|
Solanum capsicastrum |
|
|
9-15 x |
|
Cool greenhouse shrub |

The Propagation of Alpines by Lawrence D. Hills. Published in 1950 by Faber and Faber Limited describes every method of propagation for 2,500 species. Unlike modern books published since 1980, this one states exactly what to do and is precisely what you require if you want to increase your alpines. |

Ramblers Scramblers & Twiners by Michael Jefferson-Brown (ISBN 0 - 7153 - 0942 - 0) describes how to choose, plant and nurture over 500 high-performance climbing plants and wall shrubs, so that more can be made of your garden if you think not just laterally on the ground but use the vertical support structures including the house as well. The Gardener's Illustrated Encyclopedia of Climbers & Wall Shrubs - A Guide to more than 2000 varieties including Roses, Clematis and Fruit Trees by Brian Davis. (ISBN 0-670-82929-3) provides the lists for 'Choosing the right Shrub or Climber' together with Average Height and Spread after 5 years, 10 years and 20 years. |
