BURR it officially feels like winter yes, I mean it’s cold but hey we are halfway through November and are after having a nice few weeks.
So hopefully you have had some time to get the garden winter ready. Here are some reminders of what you should be doing in your garden on the lead up to winter; mulching will help to protect your plants and shrubs, make sure to bring in all the tender geraniums and do a little tidy so the place looks lovely and clean and fresh.
Bareroot season has arrived and so have the plants, and we have a nice selection of hedging to choose from in stock.
What is bareroot?
It’s when plants are soil without soil around the roots. Benefits are they are more cost effective cheaper than a potted plant. They are also easier to transport. Without soil they are lighter and easier to move.
There is a good selection of hedging to choose from. When planted they quickly establish strong root system. Bareroot is typically from November to march while plants are dormant. If you have a hedge to do or even just add some to an existing hedge now is a good time to plan and act.
So we have a nice selection of plants available to top up your pots with and one of them is Hellebores a hardy perennial known for its long lasting early blooming flowers.Often referred to as Christmas rose they are excellent for their ability to thrive in partial shade and bring colour to the garden in late winter to early spring. We have a selection in stock and not just the classic white flower but a range of others to choose from with a variety of colours. The Christmas cactus (Schlumberger)is a popular houseplant known for its vibrant blooms and easy care making it a festive favourite we have a variety of colours available and they make the best presents.
A reminder too that the birds need an extra hand this winter to stay feed and watered so with a range of feeders available and lots of offers on bird food it’s a nice addition to the garden to see them coming and enjoying some food.
With a busy few weeks ahead if you need any help with dressing pots or want to avail of special offers pop in we are happy to assist.
