Winter is not a barren, bleak time for flowers - as well as flowers available all year round (see below) there are early bulb flowers like amaryllis, hyacinth, tulip, narcissus, and hellebore; southern hemisphere exotics such as protea, kangaroo paw (Anigozanthos)and Euphorbia fulgens; and foliages including ilex (hollyberry) and leucadendron to add much-needed colour.
