Plant fuchsias in shady parts of the garden that get dappled sunlight – they make a colourful summer display. Use lots of compost to get plants off to a good start.
Fill pots and containers and hanging baskets with geraniums, cape daisies, impatiens, petunias, and calibrochoa, for bright, colourful summer displays.
Continue planting annual summer flowers such as cosmos, marigold, lobelia, petunias, impatiens, alyssum and portulaca.
Feed roses with Tui Rose Food and spray with ‘Combat 3 in 1 for Roses’ or Growsafe Freeflo Copper to control insects and diseases.
Water pots and hanging baskets daily. Feed weekly with liquid food such as iCan Fast Food or a soluble plant food such as Phostrogen.
