Primrose 'Frangipani'

Vivid Foliage and Soft Flowers 
I’m always going on about making different levels in the garden to create depth.  Create a backdrop, a mid level display and a ground cover to help keep the weeds out. 
The back drop this week is the vivid ‘Fireburst’, mid level delightful daisies and ground-cover  Bacopa. 

Coprosma ‘Firebuurst’
For a super backdrop of 1.5m, this hardy shrub has stunning obovate variegated foliage. The coloured foliage transforms from cream pink tones during summer to an explosion of fire red during autumn and through winter.

Argyranthemum Sassy Pink Daisy
A compact daisy with flowers almost all year round. It only grows to 45cm which is perfect for a long lasting colour display. The pink flowers change in their depth colour as they age, creating a unique array of pink over the entire bush.


 Bacopa
Is a versatile ground cover in sun or shade. So long flowering that if you have one not in flower you know it is time to fertilise with Flourish.
Keep the water up to it on the hot days in summer and it will reward you non stop. 



Vibrant Foliage and Flowers filled with inspiration.

Chinese Broccoli - Gai Laan
Broccoli is a vitamin rich, flavoursome vegetable, ideal for home vegetable gardens or tubs. Seedlings planted in autumn will last all winter. As with other plants, Gai Lan should be harvested and consumed just as white flowers start to bloom as the stems can become woody and tough when the plant bolts.
Grow in a sunny position in moist and well drained soil. Enrich your soil with Groganic and Organic fertiliser for good results. Matures in 10-12 weeks. Don't forget to use Tomato & Veggie Dust to stop the white butterflies and caterpillars (that is what the white dust in this photo is on the leaves!)
