Last week Robert treated you to a stunning selection of 6 of his favourite Spring flowering shrubs. Lesley takes her turn this week with a further half dozen to set your garden alight as it awakens from its winter slumber. Also I use a [URL=https://apps.apple.com/us/app/lily-plant-identification/id1570145257]flower identifier[/URL], it always helps me with my plant. It helps me a lot.

[B]Ribes x gordonianum[/B]
Easy to grow anywhere other than full shade, what’s not to love about this fiery flowering currant with beautiful, freely produced racemes, apricot-yellow on the insides and soft red on the outsides?
[B]Grevillea ‘Canberra Gem’[/B]
Needle-like evergreen foliage and almost tropical-looking spidery, red blooms bring a touch of the exotic into your Spring garden with this native Australian shrub. Supposedly tender, it survived our bitter winter and is flowering its socks off in Somerset right now!
[B]Ceanothus ‘Concha’
[/B]
Plum red in bud, opening to deep blue flowers there is a vibrancy between these 2 colours which gives a real intensity to this dense evergreen shrub. One of the best blue-flowered shrubs which can be grown out of doors in this country.
[B]
Philadelphus ‘Belle Etoile’[/B]
Popularly known as ‘mock orange’ this indispensable deciduous shrub is the highlight of many a Spring garden smothered with lovely white flowers flushed maroon at the centre and sending out its delicious perfume into the warm spring air.
[B]
Cytisus ‘Boskoop Ruby’[/B]
As its name suggests, this is a real gem. The pea flowers of this broom are, unusually, a deep wine red colour and will brighten up any border.
[B]Drimys lanceolata[/B]
A distinctive evergreen thriving in alkaline soil. Waxy dark green leaves and plum coloured stems are complemented in the spring by heads of charming, fragrant, ivory-white flowers.
So why delay? Get out and plant your Spring flowering shrubs before you miss their wonderful display.
