There are many different types and silver and gold variegated plant forms that can add an extra seasonal flourish to any garden. Come and see more plants at the Centre and get the best advise on planting and pruning.

• Ilex x altaclerensis 'Golden King' for holly leaves with a golden splash of colour. An added bonus is that the leaves are free of spines.
