Many gardeners are desperate to cut down all their perennials in the Autumn, getting their garden tidy for winter. Personally, I only remove the foliage which turns a bit mushy with the first frosts. Otherwise, I leave the stems and seedheads for structure. If we then get a hard winter frost, or even snow, the garden takes on a magical look. So far, in Berkshire this winter, we are yet to experience this, but I still enjoy the rich brown tones and different shapes the seedheads have to offer.
Here is a selection of what I spotted today.
