May blooms are in the garden but how can we how can we make them flower longer? Well its simple really, just keep deadheading the flowers and watering them.
The more time you can give your plants the more your plants will produce. Feeding the plants depends on what plants you have. Whether its perennial or bedding, there are lots of good products to pick from. Make sure to pick the one most suitable for your requirements.
Some of the perennial can be tall and you may need to stake, like the paeonies rose or the Alliums, bamboo canes or garden stakes are ideal for this.
Some of the perennial with lovely colour at the moment are the Carnations some are heavily scented like a white one called memories.
The lily is now starting to go from bud to bloom and the colours are amazing really striking another type of lily and unusual but lovely show of colour is the Alstroemeria or Peruvian lily are a very beautiful perennial flower cluster on top of stout leafy stems. They are very attractive to bees and pollinating insects.
Alpines are a create way to fill up rockery or an an are with little soil. Sedum are very popular along with campanula, Cerastium, phlox and many more to choose from to help fill that area.
Looking for something different or a feature piece in your garden let me share mine, the Japanese maple Acer palatium are highly valued for their beautiful foliage. They come in lots of sizes and shapes and colours so much choice to choose from. They like a lightly shaded position in fertile free draining soil, out of direct sun in summer the thrive under the shelter of a taller tree and need shelter from wind too.
So there is lots to consider on how to add that feature piece to your garden or add more colour to those beds so call in to see the wide range available.
Happy gardening everyone.
