ABOUT THE AUTHOR

E. P. Jansen Nursery began with an inspired vision only a family-run company can design. After purchasing her father's home and five acres of land in 1972, Elizabeth and Jan Jansen transformed the land into a community-focused, pick-your-own-strawberries, gladiolus, and chrysanthemum farm. Over ten-thousand chrysanthemums grew throughout the five acres during those early years. But as Jan and Elizabeth adapted and grew their vision, they also began to look ahead, expanding their business plan by breaking up their expansive flower offerings into separate products, and thus allowing the growth of an extensive, diverse nursery. After over 45 years, this family-focused company has grown to become the premier hardscape and plant supplier in the region. The sprawling farm now offers high-quality nursery stock curated from around the world as well as a comprehensive selection of natural stone, wall systems, pavers, blue stone, granite, and a wide variety of tools and bulk support materials.

Winter Aconite (Eranthis hyemalis)

This bulb-like, late winter-blooming flower appears around February in the Sussex hardiness zone. Winter aconite is a tiny tuber that presents bright green leaves with yellow blossoms. The flower blooms almost overnight, signaling the end of winter and heralding the onset of spring. Each plant remains small - about 4 inches high - so can be planted together in a high concentration. It’s also a good idea to have them placed where they will be visible from indoors. When planted closely together across an area, the winter aconite creates a stunning mat of tiny yellow flowers. The winter aconite is deer resistant and insect resistant.

Winter Heath (Erica x darleyensis)

This perennial is ideal for homeowners who are looking for winter plants that don’t require a whole lot of maintenance, being highly disease and pest resistant, as well as cold hardy. The winter heath grows up to 1.5 feet tall and 2 feet across in a tight formation, the bulk of which consists of fine, bright flowers. Have the winter heath planted in large groups to maximize its stunning effect. The winter heath is largely left alone by deer but loved by bees in the early spring. The winter heath makes an excellent addition to cottage and English country style design themes because of its fine texture and purple coloring.
