FEBRUARY IN THE FLOWER GARDEN


ACTION NOW

SOW AND PLANT

IN FLOWER NOW

Start off dahlia tubers

Ageratum  Camellias come into flower late this month, and may need protection (cover with polythene) against severe frost. Other flowering shrubs include Daphnes and Mahonia japonica - not forgetting Mahonia x 'Charity', a GardenAction favourite.

Snowdrops will continue through February, and other winter flowering bulbs such as Irises (histrioides and danfordiae) make an appearance. Crocuses of many varieties will be at their peak.

A slightly unusual plant in flower this month is the deciduous wall covering shrub Abeliophyllum Distichum - during the month it will display star-shaped blue-pink flowers on bare stems.
