These beautiful flowers, often called Christmas roses, are reliable winter favourites. Grow in fertile, well-draining soil at the front of a border.
“Hellebores are increasingly found in garden centres now and are valued for providing early winter and spring interest with their cup-shaped flowers,” says Julian.

“November is also a good opportunity to plant some late-flowering perennials like alstroemerias, which bloom from summer through to frost,” says Julian.
Another perennial to plant in November is Saxifraga, which thrives in shady, cooler spots and produces star-shaped flowers.

Great for areas of dappled shade, heucheras are a striking ground-cover addition to gardens. Plant alongside hostas and salvias for wonderful woodland-inspired schemes.
“Heucheras, sometimes called coral bells, are valued for their attractive foliage in shades ranging from deep purple to bright lime,” adds Julian.

Don’t mistake these pretty perennials for grass. With long-lasting purple flower spikes, they’ll add interest and vibrancy to any empty border.
“Some of the best perennials to plant in November include lily turf (Liriope), which forms neat clumps of grass-like leaves with pretty purple flowers,” says Julian.
“These plants are not only beautiful but also hardy, meaning they can survive winter’s chill without trouble.”
