Why a pergola is the perfect accessory for your festive gatherings
How a Metal Storage Shed Could Enhance Your Outdoor Space
With crisp, cold and wet weather here to stay, your outdoor metal planters may look a little drab and bleak. But with the right choice of plants, you can create stunning displays that showcase seasonal beauty throughout the winter months. From lush evergreens to vibrant kales and cabbages, our durable metal planters will keep your garden looking its colourful best, even in the colder months.
Winter-Hardy Shrubs
Hardy shrubs form the backbone of any winter garden. While they aren’t the most visually appealing and colourful option in the summer, a flower that opens in the winter is a rare and valuable asset. A selection of versatile and resilient shrubs offer attractive winter blooms and rich fragrance, bringing new life to outdoor seating areas where their use might be limited. Shrubs are also a fantastic way to attract pollinating insects into your garden, ensuring wildlife can continue to thrive in your garden all year round. Some popular examples include winter daphnes, witch hazel and witch flowering honeysuckle – all of which are fantastic for bringing colour to an otherwise bare garden.
Growing Your Own
You can’t beat the taste of truly fresh produce, and there are few greater pleasures as a gardener than eating fruit and veg grown in your very own garden. With limited options available in the winter, choosing cold-hardy veg like winter cabbages and kale will help you maximise your space and keep you growing and honing your skills in the colder months. Not only are these beautifully colourful amongst frosty surroundings, but they also make an excellent addition to a Christmas dinner spread, should you choose to harvest.
Small and Mighty
Some winter-flowering plants are particularly suitable for growing in compact containers and those limited by space. Cold-hardy perennials like snowdrops and pansies bring vibrancy to any area and offer excellent variety throughout the year.
With the right plants, metal planters can transform your outdoor space this winter. Hardy evergreens, resilient shrubs and winter perennials are the perfect addition to any outdoor space. With our metal planters, why not give it a go?
