As the temperature starts to drop, often so too does the level of effort many put into the plants in the garden, and even the potted plants on their composite decking. Usually, it’s because most people are under the impression that their plants won’t survive the harsh winter frost and temperatures. While this is undoubtedly true for some plants, at Savoy Timber, we have a few tips to share for sustaining a vibrant and colourful garden throughout the coldest months, and the answer is winter-proof plants!
The garden fun doesn’t have to end as soon as the clocks go back. There are plenty of arguments for making good use of your timber or composite decking in the winter, like having friends and family around to gather by a fire pit, cosy up on your furniture under the veranda or even just simply take in the beauty of the colder seasons. And what adds to the beauty of your garden during the colder seasons? Winter plants!
There are plenty of plants out there just as suited to the winter weather as your sunflowers and roses are suited to the warm and tepid days of spring and summer. They even thrive in colder temperatures, making them ideal for designing a beautiful winter garden – because why should flowers and foliage only be reserved for the warmer months?
Winter plants, such as holly, ivy, and snowdrops, not only add a splash of colour to an otherwise empty winter landscape, but they also attract wildlife such as birds and squirrels. So, if you’re looking to create a winter wonderland in your garden, consider adding some winter-friendly plants to your landscape. Our suggestions are below!
There are many evergreen and even colourful flowering plants that will give the frost and snow a run for its money, so when it comes to creating a stunning inter arrangement in your garden or on your decking, these plants are the ideal candidates. Some examples of great winter plants include:
When creating a captivating winter garden, the magic lies in blending these winter-proof plants like Heather, Hellebores, and Snowdrops to bring different colours and textures into your space – even in winter. Combine these with interesting garden art like statues, stone bird baths and feeders, or highlight your creations with a few fairy lights or even some Christmas decorations when the seasons call for it – it’s entirely up to you!
Another great way to enjoy the water greener is to bring some of these vibrant flowers into ornamental pots on your decking for even more texture and visual interest. From the elegance of shrubs to the grace of grasses, these elements add depth and character, transforming your garden and deck into a vibrant, enchanting landscape that defies the seasons – perfect for hosting, generally enjoying and the ideal winter project for green-thumbed individuals!
As the festive season approaches, maintaining your garden is easier than you might think. What’s more, the hard work will pay off when you have an ever-green garden full of winter blooms to enjoy all year round!
