Believe it or
not Christmas is just around the corner! As lovely as
it might be to coffee it up in the myriad of wonderful cafés that Melbourne has to
offer, it is now time to get creative in the garden to ensure it is party ready
for the festive season. Here are my
top five tips for adding bling to your garden…
Petunias
bring a colourful zing that radiates happiness. Plant seedlings in either the
garden or in pots.
How can
anyone not love roses? Dead-head regularly so that you will have plenty of
follow on blooms. Feed every six weeks for the best results. They will love you
for it.
Feed your
gardenias if their leaves are looking yellow. Magnesium should green them up
but if that doesn’t work a little iron chelates may be needed as well.
Time to
replant some pretty perennials. Salvias are great as they grow quickly and
bring plenty of bees and gorgeous butterflies to visit.
Don’t forget
to plant plenty of herbs so that they are always there when you need them.
Nothing is more luxurious than having your own ready supply of fresh herbs to
glorify your festive fare.
Merry
Christmas and Happy Gardening!
