The second one is evergreen and many others are too. https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/details?plantid=947 https://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile?PID=113 https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=h...hMIjLj9gcbjyAIVRdYUCh2cggK9&dpr=1.25 Last edited by granny; 27th Oct 2015 9:10pm.

Some are more hardy than others I think. https://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile?PID=589 https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=c...hMI2Ivjn8jjyAIVyzkaCh1A9g0D&dpr=1.25 Humankind has not woven the web of life.

Asda (woodchurch)did have some autumn winter pansies �1 for 6 but check the labels as some are summer autumn. They did have cyclamen but sold out last week-may have got more in. Can cheat with the painted heathers. Also those coloured ornamental cabbages. Also onecaled chineria? as a contrast whiteish foliage. On the spring bulb front--Rightway Prenton were selling handy packs for �1 dwarf tulips and mini daffs, crocus, grape hyacinths as well as regular daffs. Good value as they should come back each year Home and Bargain/Aldi Prenton nets of daffs for �2--but id note some of the bulbs were rotten when planting them bt still decent vfm/ Think Tescos were ding 5kg daffs for around �5
