Spring Treasures

The Island Bed has lots of colourful treasures which flower through winter into spring. I particularly enjoy this plant pairing - a large patch of Hellebores, nestling in behind a frothy purple-flowering shrub, name unknown.

I suspect the shrub is an Australian. It's very flowery right at the beginning of spring, and needs to be trimmed after flowering.

I planted just a few Hellebore plants here in the Island Bed here when we first came to Mooseys. It's the perfect place, and they've formed quite a colony. Their creamy-white flowers lighten up the winter months.
