I think I need another one for summer as I only had daffodils for spring. Please, Bunny could I have roses as well? Couldn't have a garden without roses.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Every year we grow nicotiana Lime Green. It brightens up the borders, so it's a must for me. But as you say there are so many beautiful plants it's hard to choose. Roses of course, clematis, marguerite's, any spring flowers, but especcially snowdrops, they seem to lift the spirits and you know Spring can't be far away.
There are loads of plants but there is one I have planted in the garden on every house I have lived in. I have a young one here planted last year. A lot of people aren't impressed by it but to me there is something about it - shape and flowers
It is a tree Prunus Amanogowa. When more mature I plant clematis texensis to grow up it to give more interest. In the last house it was 'Betty Corning' But will be something different here.
Ohhh that's what I was wanting in my garden seeing the pic, I haven't seen any in our GC, we had one outside the kitchen window where I worked , the blossom was fabulous and the shape .

Have just looked up the tree you mentioned Bjay, it looks lovely, nice and slender, and would fit into most gardens. I can see the attraction.
It also has lovely autumn colour
and of course sheds very little shade
I haven't seen itin garden centres last one I bought from Parker but found this

This firm is near me so I often look. One day when I jave pennies to spare I will visit them
JParkers have them but the one I bought from them last year is a bit tiddly - still it's coming
Agree with Lavender - one from each season - here are my would-be-lost-without plants
Spring: Narcissi
Summer: Another vote for roses and rambling geraniums
Late Summer/Autumn: Anemone
Winter: Cornus
