Cornus sanguinea
'Winter Beauty'

Dogwood is grown principally for the stunning red stems which provide a welcome splash of colour in the darkest winter months.

Lobelia tupa

This plant, originally from Mexico, bears spikes of two-lipped brick red / maroon flowers in late summer above narrowly oval, hairy, light green leaves.

 

Beta vulgaris

Colour in the garden is not confined to flowers. Ruby chard is a variety of spinach with red leaf stalks and midribs - very effective in a mixed border.

Acer palmatum

Its distinctive and elegant habit is greatly valued in the garden. Excellent in a courtyard in pots.

Rosa 'Herbstfeuer'

This vigorous rose blooms all summer, concluding its long flowering season with a final burst of flowers. It grows more
than 2 metres tall.
