Winter Flowering Shrubs Recommended by Blue Iris Landscapes

The winter garden can be surprisingly colourful, here is a list of our favourite winter flowering shrubs:

These evergreen climbers are not only attractive but also show their high ability in producing an abundance of flowers throughout the winter. They also add a profusion of colour to any garden which is essential for the long cold winter months. In addition to this, the flowers provide a vital source of nectar to pollinating insects. They require little pruning and are easy to look after, ideally however, they are suited to areas with well-drained soil and sunny, sheltered sites.

Clematis urophylla ‘winter beauty’

The wax-like, creamy-white sepals emerge from green buds and become taller, and more flared at their tips as they mature. These small, urn-shaped flowers contrast well with their rich green foliage.

Clematis cirrhosa var. Purpurascens ‘Lansdowne Gem’

Rich claret coloured tapels that form open bell-shaped flowers appear for several months in winter. The seed heads that follow are also alluring, and if in a sheltered position, help to prolong the seasonal display.

Clematis cirrhosa ‘Jingle bells’

Large, cream-coloured flowers appear from winter to spring and are later followed by striking seed heads. The scented blooms can be appreciated by many if planted around a doorway which captures the sun and shade.

Through winter and spring, these charming climbers can provide appeal, colour, and much-appreciated scents.
