1 Leucothoe ‘Rainbow’

With arching stems and brightly mottled evergreen foliage, this ever-changing shrub is ideal for the smaller garden. In spring, its canopy is a myriad of pinks, creams and greens which contrast with its white dangling flowers. Height and spread 5ft (1.5m). Priced at £14 each.

2 Nandina domestica ‘Obsessed’

The top leaves of this compact shrub splay outwards in an architectu­ral fashion, first appearing deep red, then maturing to forest green. Its white flowers arrive in small torch-like wands in early summer, followed by bright-red ornamental berries. Maximum height and spread 40in (1m). Priced at £15 each.

3 Skimmia japonica ‘Rubella’ AGM

This small, bushy evergreen addition produces showy panicles of bright red buds through winter, which open in spring to reveal fragrant white blossoms.

Priced at £15 each.

4 Leucothoe ‘Zeblid’ AGM

This variety grows outwards more than up, making it ideal for covering large expanses of soil, with a veil of thick, evergreen leaves. The leaves are dark red when emerging, slowly transformi­ng into a dark forest green. Holds an RHS Award of Garden Merit (AGM). Height 40in (1m); spread 8ft 3in (2.5m). Priced at £14 each.
