Prized for its winter floral display, award-winner Jasminum nudiflorum (Winter Jasmine) is a medium-sized deciduous shrub with long, arching branches. Its slender willowy green stems stand out in late winter or early spring when clothed with masses of bright yellow flowers, 1 in. across (2.5 cm). Non-fragrant, they appear before the handsome, shiny green, trifoliate leaves unfurl. Winter Jasmine is ideal as a bank cover since it spreads where the stems touch the ground. It is also very pretty when cascading from retaining walls.

• Winner of the prestigious Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society
