| The chorus of bulbs has by now reached a
crescendo with the addition of the colonising
Crocus `Tommasinianus` (purple/blue). A group
of camellias that inspire such confidence and
include `Donation` and `Daintiness` are gorgeous
but `Cornish Snow` (evergreen with white flowers)
is the tops. As the hellebores continue to
entertain us, lower growing pulmonarias start
to catch the eye. Look out for `Munstead Blue`,
`Sissinghurst White` and saccharata, whose
flowers are at first pink then change to sky
blue. |

Every day there are new shoots, buds and
delicate blooms to admire in your garden,
it's almost as if a tide of green advances
as the month does. For gardeners the urge
to get outside and do things becomes almost
irresistible. Use this time to plant main
crop potatoes, leeks and carrots for delicious
home grown produce later in the season. Prune
roses and cut back buddleia.

| Now is the ideal time to sow hardy annuals
and divide large clumps of perennial plants
discarding the centres. |
