Plant of the Day
Tuesday 23 December 2014
Niches created in Viburnum tinus create an evergreen background for the startling white stems of Rubus cockburnianus (white-stemmed bramble). This deciduous shrub has white-bloomed, arching stems which will grow in sunshine or semi-shade. To retain colour and stop the plant from taking over it needs to be pruned to the ground in late winter or early spring to promote new growth. The large image shows the stems illuminated at night at the Anglesey Abbey Garden, Cambridge, UK, winter lighting event - so the stems can be any colour you want!
