Winter Perennial Plants

From the popular Helleborus (Hellebore) (which flowers from December through March) to Viburnum and more, Boma offers some of the best winter flowering perennials for late winter and early spring displays. Witch hazels are admired for their bright yellow flowers and fragrance, perfect for scented gardens. Bergenia provides leathery evergreen leaves and blooms in late winter, while Cyclamen coum brings winter flower colour in partial shade. These evergreen perennials and winter flowering plants deliver structure and beauty through the colder months of December and January.

Evergreen shrubs like Camellia and Skimmia bring structure all year round, while large deciduous shrub forms such as Cornus and Witch Hazel add vivid stem colour through winter. For climbers, Clematis 'Winter Beauty' is evergreen and thrives in well drained soil, offering fragrant white flowers from December through March. Trailing plants make elegant winter hanging baskets and window boxes. Most winter perennials suit a range of positions — full sun to semi shade — and many tolerate moist soils and ground cover conditions, ideal for London's varied terraces and courtyards.

Boma's winter collection is built around North London growing conditions. From December and Christmas-time through January, February, and into March, our stock rotates to reflect what's flowering now. Many winter perennials offer scent as well as colour: Sarcococca (Christmas box) fills quiet corners with sweet winter fragrance, while Hellebores suit a shaded woodland garden or cut flower garden. Together these plants create a low maintenance garden that stays visually interesting right through the winter colour season and into early spring.
