Happy new year to you too.

Sarcoccoca, Pittosporum ,Escalonia Camellia, some of the smaller Magnolia, Mahonia, Daphne.
these are the ones that spring to mind for me and several flower and scent the garden in winter/early spring.

When planting trees or shrubs spacing -which is limited by the plot size-is important especially with limited sunlight. With regards to the sun the direction of the light may have to be taken into account so one tree does not cast too much of a shadow upon the other.

If you have acidic soil, you could also try Pieris forest flame and Loropetalum … both very pretty.

Happy New Year!

Rhododendrons

Viburnum tinus will put up with almost any conditions and flowers right the way through the winter. This can quite quite large in time, but there's a more compact form called 'Ladybird' that only grows to around four feet. I bought one mail order from Kelways a couple of year ago, and its thriving in heavy shade. I can also recommend Kelways

Thanks everyone. I'll take a look at these, some of which are already familiar to me and which I have grown before. Thanks also to Loosestrife2 for that extra bit of information. Cheers eveyone!
