@nataliejohnson, the is also the male Skimmia Japonica Rubella. Plants like Corylus avellana 'Contorta' and Hydrangea quercifolia 'Snow Queen' have intense winter interest. The Hydrangeas, even though they make a good specimen plant, are best massed; allowing sufficient space to reach full potential. I have had Camellias bloom in February but they were well protected from winter winds (as all broad-leaf evergreens should be). BTW, Erica is heath. Heather are spring and summer flowering.

What to Grow In Winter Series, Post #9 Witch Hazel
I just saw your comment, @aedroberts. Sometimes I miss them somehow. You sound like you have so much gardening experience, hopefully, in time I will too - I'm pretty new at gardening :) Corylus avellana 'Contorta' reminds me of the corkscrew willow, and I see what you mean about the Hydrangea quercifolia 'Snow Queen'. The peeling bark is interesting to look at.

Where I live, in zone 8, we are very fortunate to have mild winters (most of the time). Right now we have the most beautiful camellias blooming all around this area, and I am just in awe of them. We did have a few freezes about a month ago but we are back in the spring-time weather.
