AS we approach October, gardeners need to start thinking about growing plants for the winter.
Its features include lush green foliage, as well as striking two-toned blooms.

Meanwhile, the retailer’s website describes the plant as “perfect for creating a focal point in your outdoor area.”
Winter pansies require great care to ensure they grow to their full potential.
Keep them watered during dry spells and to avoid spreading fungal diseases, pour water onto soil rather than foliage.
Gardeners World also advise to regularly remove any dead flowers from the pansies.
In turn, this then allows for the plant to produce new blooms.
Flower expert David Denyer from flower and gift delivery service, Eflorist, recently shared the best plants you should be introducing now.
David highlighted plants including Ivy, Hellebores and Snowdrops as some examples.
He said: “Many people think of pollinators as a spring and summer concern, but the truth is they need our support all year round.
“By planting a mix of species that flower through autumn and winter, you’re creating a vital safety net for bees, butterflies, and other insects at a time when food sources are scarce.
“The knock-on effect is huge.
“Pollinators that make it through winter in good health are far more effective at supporting our gardens, crops, and wild spaces when spring arrives.
“Gardeners are essentially investing in next year’s garden without realising it, as a garden designed with pollinators in mind will not only stay vibrant in the colder months but will also come back stronger, healthier, and more resilient each year.”
Meanwhile, The Sun’s gardening expert revealed how a £1.99 Lidl plant is her secret to “filling outside space with colour all autumn”.
