Plant Of The Week

  
In the centres this week we’ve been refreshing our compost knowledge – There’s more to muck then you’d think! A lot goes on under the soil that we don’t see & using the right type for the plants you’ve chosen in pots or improving what you’ve got in the garden can make the difference between lush healthy plants or sad looking specimens that just refuse to grow. The next time you’re in one of our centres try quizzing one of our plant teams to see how your choice of compost could improve your plants performance.


My plant of the week this week is Belamcanda. Beautiful orchid like orange flowers speckled with crimson spots are a real talking point. Surprisingly easy to grow just give this member of the Iris family a well drained soil in a sunny spot to bake its rhizomatous roots in & enjoy. Available from our John Browns centre.
