As January comes to a close, there are welcome pops of golden flowers appearing as daffodils make their entrance. When skies are grey, this vibrant colour will help lift spirits and signal that spring is not so far away. In March, Forsythia will weave ribbons of gold through gardens and we will have left winter behind.
There is a group of plants that can bring golden touches to our plots all year round. They are called evergolds – evergreen shrubs that have yellow or golden variegation on their leaves. This can be in the form of a neat margin around the leaves or irregular splashes, streaks or speckles.
