Aster alpinus, berberis thunbergii,calluna vulgaris (shrub); deutzia x hybrida; erica carnea vivelli; erica x watsonii dawn; hypericum olympicum; philadelphus virginal; potentilla fruticosa abbotswood; salix gracilistyla melanostachys; salix reticulata; sambucus nigra guincho purple; spiraea japonica shirobana; spiraea nipponica snowmound; tamarix tetranda; viburnum opulus roseum.





Gardens exposed to strong winds make gardening difficult. Choose compact varieties hat require less staking. Avoid large leaved plants that may be damaged. use hedges and screens as wind breaks.


You could try a well-supported wisteria, and protect in winter with mulch.

Hiya,


I just bought and planted a wisteria burford and it is planted so I can train it up the house. I live in a fairly windy area by the sea, and should think it will be fine with shelter from the house. I wouldn't suggest planting it out in the open as a standard in a windy area, and a lot of wind would blow the blossoms off, etc.. I grew up in a house with a wisteria on the wall, and we lived where there were tornadoes, so once established I believe they are really hardy. Besides pruning, my mum did very little else with it.

Reply:I don't think a wisteria would be suited for a windy exposure. Take a look at a Spanish broom, as they do not seem to be adversely affected by it.
