If you are an ‘newbie’ gardener and would like to generate as much colour as possible, there here are a few helpful tips to get the most out of your garden this summer.
British Wild Flowers
Many of our most loved British wild flowers are under threat due to modern farming practises (pesticides, fertiliser, hedgerow removal), housing development, poor management of our countryside and the explosion in decking, driveways and brick paving. So, should we care less?
Gardening Videos
To an absolute beginners, setting up a great floral display can be (and quite rightly should be) a daunted prospect. Luckily, there are plenty of on-line videos to help you get started in making your garden look great this summer.
Helleborus for Winter Colour
Who said that winter had to be a drab season? When most perennials are in a state of slumber, the humble Helleborus puts on a noble display.
Tropaeolum speciosum – The Flame Flower (Perennial)
This herbaceous perennial nasturtium will happily scramble into a hedge row or up a tree and add a splash of summer colour to your garden.
Nasturtium majus Cobra
Award winning Nasturtium majus Cobra is now available for the first time after many years of seed stock building. It originally won the Fleuroselect Novelty mark back in 1999.
Begonia Aromantics
Now you can buy scented begonias! Begonias grow quickly from seed, flower profusely and many varieties have tubers that can be overwintered and planted out the following year to provide yet another summer festival of colour.
