Winter might still be nipping at our heels, but it's actually the perfect moment to don your gardening gloves and kick-start your blooming spring garden, a flower expert has insisted. Millie Durbak of Prestige Flowers explains: "Choosing the right plants for this time of year not only results in an early burst of colour but also strengthens the overall health of your garden.
"Consider hardy varieties like hellebores and primroses, which not only endure the last chills of winter but also contribute to a stunning display as temperatures rise." Ready to see your garden transform? Millie recommends these top-notch picks for February planting.
Crocuses. First on the list are Crocuses. Tiny but mighty, these little beauties are often the pioneers of spring, braving the remnants of cold with show-stopping colours. They thrive in well-drained soil, and before you know it, they'll spread into an eye-catching tapestry heralding the switch from bleak winter to vibrant spring.
Hellebores. When thinking about what to bury in the soil this February, don't overlook Hellebores or Lenten roses. These tough cookies can stand up to late winter's briskness. Find them a cosy spot in semi-shade and watch as their sophisticated flowers bloom in a variety of shades, nodding gracefully downwards.
Primroses. Primroses shouldn't be missed off your planting schedule. Vibrant prihey thrive in moist, well-drained soil and partial shade, making them perfect for a variety of garden settings. Clematis Early Sensation. Clematis Early Sensation is ideal for adding vertical interest to your garden. This robust climber produces an abundance of pink-mauve flowers and can be planted in late winter. Choose a sheltered spot with fertile soil and watch as it transforms trellises or fences into breathtaking focal points.
