Planting tips
Water, compost and mulch are for me the holy grail for successful gardening, bearing in mind over watering can be more detrimental than the lack of it, scratch around the plant and check how dry the soil is if you’re concerned.
When planting in dry weather I recommend when you dig a hole check if the soil is moist before you plant if not fill it with water first.
How plants are grown
We grow strong healthy hardy plants. Our plants are mostly grown in 100 and 125mm pots to ensure a well developed root system.
The plants we send out are well established and can safely be planted in the ground. They are not newly rooted cuttings or old root bound plants.
Winter planting in our coastal areas is quite successful, though we recommend spring planting in colder areas.
The climate our plants grow in
Our climate is coastal (15 km from the sea), frost free and our coldest winter temperature is about 5⁰. Our summer temperatures are occasionally in the 40s, usually in the 30s, with high summer humidity. Previously we lived in an area which was colder with some quite heavy frosts at times.
Where plants are known by us to be frost tender, we have noted in our catalogue. Most will recover well if cut back – we recommend growing frost tender plants near a wall or protected location, mulch also helps keep soil warm.
