        Brunnera Jack frost.

        Sophora, looks better now than before, as it lost some leaves, the flowers show up more.

        Some Heucheras have survived the winter better than others like this Blackberry Jam.

        Cordyline 'Cha Cha' These hybrid clump forming Cordylines (sometimes mistaken for Phormium) are frost tender, so as I lost one previously outside, I over wintered this one in the greenhouse.

        Brahia armata, one of the best 'blue palms' although almost hardy, I didn't risk it outside this winter.

          Spring is officially here when the Pleiones are out!

          They were outdoors all winter huddled up against the house wall. The only damage that they suffered was fron slugs and snails................

              Thanks!
              Hardy up your way if you can keep 'em dry over the winter.

                  Our Sophora has also recovered and is fairly naked without its leaves. :blue thumb:

                  Sorry, I won't have access to my photos for a while as the computer needs a new motherboard. :sad:

                  We left ours out and they look a bit sorry for themselves. :noidea:

                    With these last few hot days things in the garden are galloping ahead. The Exochordas are bursting into blossom (usually nearly finished by now), plum trees are in full bloom and the Viburnums are scenting the whole garden.
