colour

South Shoebury Hall in April

A one-acre garden that shimmers with colour from blossoming trees and countless tulips around the listed house

Colour is an exciting and inspirational element of a garden, a powerful tool for creating different effects and moods

Pared down, a winter garden’s interest lies in texture, shape, perfume, structure and flowers of a rare delicacy

A hard January frost is sure to awaken the fragrant, spidery flowers on witch hazels to glow in the brittle winter sunshine

There are different bulbs to flower in winter, spring, summer and autumn, naturalised or in borders, beds or pots

Autumn colour comes in the fall, not only in foliage tints or maple leaf colours, but also in late flowers, shrubs, berries and hips
