Unusual spring colour
Saw this plant at RHS Harlow Carr but they didn't stock it in the plant centre so I tried Crocus - it's looking lovely in my shrubbery.

This shrub is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.

Expensive but worth it. Beautiful in February and March. Takes a while to establish, and I made sure to keep it well watered in the first year or so. I have a heavy clay soil, and the plant is in a very windy spot, but it is growing well and lovely. If you like winter flowers on bare wood, this is the plant for you.

Yes if you wanted to you could, if you chose a clematis in the group 3 flowering category, you could prune it in late winter before the catkins develop and make the most of the two shrubs.

Yes, these plants are fully hardy, so the best place for them is out in the garden. Do make sure however before you plant that the soil is neither waterlogged or frozen.

Hello there Ideally this plant would be better planted in the ground as salix like deep, moist soil which long term it won't get in a pot. As this plant is still quite young in a 3lt pot, you could start it off in a deep pot for a year or so, but then I would plant it out into the garden into a deep soil, that isn't going to dry out but is well drained in full sun.

Hello, There will always be a few of the older leaves turning yellow as the plant puts on new growth, however if it is significant yellowing, then this is usually a result of either a lack of water, or not enough fertiliser.

Hello, These species are dioecious, but the cultivar we sell ('Mount Aso') is a male plant.
