Apricot blossoms
A
hardy, deciduous, early flowering tree which will produce delicious
Apricots late summer.
As the blossoms appear early in the year, they might need protection from
frost.
Plant in a sheltered sunny spot.

bright yellow shrub.
Can be a little garish, but nice to see some color after the long dark
winter month. The blossoms appear before the leaves.
Easy to grow. Best planted in sun.
Mahonia japonica
This lovely evergreen shrub is best grown in semi-shade.
Flowers start to develop in late October and bloom till March or
April.
Flowers in primrose-yellow develop in the center of each leave
rosette. Leaves are dark green, shiny and holly shaped, but
larger.
Lungwort

A lovely plant with its blue and
pink blossoms and easy to grow. They look beautiful in a
woodland setting and equally lovely in a herbaceous
border.
When finished flowering the grayish
green spotted leaves form a ground cover.
Euphorbia
This
one is the common variety of Euohorbias. They bloom for a very long time
and grow well in sun or shade. Euphorbias look especially good with
Alliums.

in sun or halve shade.
