Aucuba japonica 'Rozannie' - Lustrous, dark green leaves and small clusters of red-purple flowers in April and May, followed by large, bright red berries. This compact Japanese laurel is perfect for a small shady site. Tolerant of dry shade and urban-pollution, it has bisexual flowers, but if you want a big crop of berries, try planting it alongside a 'male' variety.

Acer palmatum (Dissectum Group) 'Emerald Lace' - Very finely dissected bright green leaves appear on the arching branches, creating a softly rounded crown, which turns dazzling shades of red and orange in autumn, just before the leaves drop. It makes a wonderful addition to the shrub border, but its handsome silhouette and fine foliage also makes it a worthy specimen plant. Its somewhat compact habit also means it will be quite happy in a large pot, provided it is kept well fed and watered. Gardening, Trees, Ink, Shrub, Shrubs, Green Leaves, Trees And Shrubs

Paeonia 'Buckeye Belle' - Prized for their blowsy, glamorous blooms and glossy, deeply cut foliage, peonies are held in deep affection by many gardeners, despite their short flowering season and vulnerability to peony wilt in damp weather. It's easy to see why.

Acer palmatum 'Ryusen' - This stunning Japanese maple has a tall, thin profile, so it is a great option where space is limited. It also has weeping branches, which are covered with smallish lime green leaves that turn yellow and orange in autumn before they drop. A beautiful plant for a large container, provided they are kept well watered, they can also be trained over time to form an arch over a footpath or doorway. Summer, Fern Forest, Plant Leaves

Hydrangea 'Preziosa' - Masses of mophead flowers start out deep pink in June, maturing to red with a crescendo of burgundy by the end of the year on neutral or slightly acidic soil. On acid soil, the flowers will open blue or mauve. This upright, deciduous hydrangea is a gorgeous specimen plant for a sunny or partially shady border where the purple-flushed foliage will add colour. It looks particularly good planted with other hydrangeas. Floral, Hydrangea, Hydrangea Flower, Crocus, Different Plants

Camellia sasanqua 'Winter's Snowman' - An early flowering camellia, that will produce either semi-double or anemone-form flowers (and sometimes both on the same plant), in autumn and into winter. A useful and decorative evergreen, it has an upright habit that makes it useful for smaller gardens, and as it does not get too big it can be grown in a large pot, provided you make sure it is kept well fed and watered - very handy if your soil is not naturally acidic.

Hydrangea quercifolia Little Honey ('Brihon')  - A fantastic new hydrangea, with very decorative oak-like leaves. They emerge in spring a bright golden yellow and this colour persists into summer before gradually fading to a chartreuse-green. The large cones of pretty white flowers that appear in summer are the icing on the cake. In autumn the leaves turn dramatic shades of coral, pink, red and burgundy as the flowers slowly fade.

Acer palmatum (Dissectum Group) 'Garnet' - This standard form has a clear straight stem with a crown of feathery, garnet-coloured foliage on top. In time it will form a pretty little tree with a rounded, compact habit that makes it perfect focal point in a small garden, particularly when planted in a container. It needs a sheltered spot, away from strong winds orscorching sun, though its leaf colour is best enjoyed in a sunny position. Nature, Acer Palmatum, Taras, Botanica, Japanese Maple

Wisteria frutescens 'Amethyst Falls' - A native species of North America, this is a more compact form than its Chinese and Japanese cousins. This makes it ideally suited for large pots, which can be placed under pergolas or arches to transform them into a charming feature, well-suited to a cottage garden. If the garden is large enough, then plant them out against the wall of a house for an incredible late spring and summer display.

Sasa palmata - A vigorous medium-sized bamboo with green canes and mid-green leaves. The leaves tend to die back from their edges and tips during the winter, but it is quickly replaced with lush green foliage in late spring. This robust bamboo is best used as groundcover and for clipping into low moulds. It should only be introduced if you are prepared to keep it under control, since it can be extremely invasive and hard to eradicate once established.
