The long, hanging silvery catkins of Garrya elliptica (the silk tassel bush) are a striking sight in winter. With its evergreen leaves and graceful catkins, Garrya is an excellent wall shrub and a good winter-interest shrub or informal hedge.
Garrya elliptica has long greenish yellow catkins in February.
Akebia quinata is a twining plant with deep purple fragrant flowers in spring.
Ceanothus repens has a mass of light blue flowers in May and a spreading growth.
The early and double and semi-double large-flowered cultivars would all benefit from protection from the wind or heavy rain given by shrubs such as ceanothus, pyracantha, winter-flowering jasmine, forsythia and Garrya elliptica.
