The scented leaves of Ribes sanguineum are for me it’s strongest attribute and I look forward to the new leaves at the start of spring, but the pink flowers that follow give a good show and up the value. After this early spring effort it becomes just another shrub in the garden, but at this time of year it’s much admired, by me at least. Forget me not, Myosotis sylvatica, always reliably present. Good looking en masse and up close with diminutive delicate flowers. Lastly Bergenia, most often given the job of ground cover, of which it makes a good effort. Foliage over flowers is my preference although it can become scruffy, but it remains popular and useful.
