Clematis MICHIKO is an excellent addition to the Forsteri group. The compact stems provide an abundance of pretty white flowers over an interesting evergreen parsley shaped foliage. A prolific flowering plant with prostrate growing habit or can be trained vertically if desired.
My Winter Jasmine, jasminum nudiflorum looks a picture growing on my vintage tin workshop walls. Clusters of small yellow flowers appear from bare stems in the winter months, giving a delightful bright splash to dull areas and contrasts brilliantly with the dark green painted tin.

The clusters of hyacinth shaped flowers are pale to light silvery-pink and makes an excellent 'front of border' plant. This clump-forming clematis has erect woody stems and requires free draining soil.
The semi-double flowers have a cream base heavily overlaid with deep salmon-pink. Salmon-pink colouration can be very slight in the first years of the plants life and will deepen with age. Colour develops best in sunny aspects.
The eye-catching flowers have broad deep purple margins that merge towards a white bar which has rosy-purple veins running through it. A lovely crown of stamens further enhance the striking effect of these blooms.

The dainty nodding bell-shaped flowers are pure white and have a waxy texture. The attractive foliage is evergreen and the plant benefits from free-draining soil.
The nodding bell-shaped flowers are pale lime green when first open maturing to yellowy-cream. This is one of, if not the hardiest of evergreen clematis and the leaves are serrated which adds further to its attraction.

Magnificent royal purple flowers have a slightly lighter mottling effect to them and a dark purple anther in the centre giving a very striking display when paired with a paler colour for strong contrast. You could consider planting with clematis 'Prince George' for a stunning contrast in colours and long summer flower interest.

The dainty silvery-mauve nodding buds open to gloriously rich purple blooms. They have a reddish bar when first open which gradually fades as the blooms mature to bluish-purple.

One of my all time favourite honeysuckle, Lonicera purpusii fragrantisima has dainty white flowers with a strong scent through the winter months and is loved by solitary bees especially on a mild winters day. It's winter flowering nature makes it a very attractive plant to provide year round interest and it is worth noting that it requires free draining soil to do its best for you.
