Winter can be a dreary time of year – cold days, grey skies, icy winds. What better to warm your soul than to fill your garden with vibrant, life bringing colour. Native plants are a great way to do this, as many flower over the period from late autumn through to winter – a time when many exotic plants are drab and lifeless.
Planting winter flowering natives in your garden is great for our native birds and bees, as nectar feeding birds and insects rely on them for food over winter. There are a great range of native plants that flower over winter, giving you lots of choice for flower colour and plant habit.

I have been browsing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like
yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all web owners and bloggers made good content as you did,
the internet will be much more useful than ever before.
