After the long dark winter months, the arrival of spring is a welcome time in the garden, with many bulbs, trees and shrubs bursting into life, bringing a welcome spash of colour.
As feisty as a Spanish dancer the flowers on these double primula frill, twist and flare like the beautiful dresses from whence they get their name. They will certainly make a statement when they burst open to celebrate the arrival of Spring.
If you’re after something truly special, Acer ’Taylor’ is an absolute showstopper. This compact Japanese Maple has been bred to impress, and it does just that, with colour-changing leaves across the seasons.
This variety bursts open from narrow, dark grey-green stems, and are known as one of the most wonderful sights in the winter months. They love dappled shade under trees and look even better when planted in drifts through grass, where they will naturalise easily and return in a denser spread the following year.
