Spring Tart Up
If your garden is looking at bit drab at the moment, why not give it a quick spring tart up? The best place to look for inspiration is your local nursery. The really good plant shops around Australia plan their spring displays so that customers can see exactly how well different flower combinations work together. Then, instead of buying seeds or punnets of seedlings, you can buy advanced annuals already in flower. Don looked at a wonderful colour mix of blue violas (Viola ‘Sorbet’), white alyssum (Lobularia ‘Sugar Crystals’) and some of the softer pink shades of primula (Primula malacoides ‘Lollipops’). These ‘potted bloomers’ give an instant happy, cheerful effect in the garden. Your neighbours will think you’ve spent weeks planning your spring display, when really all it takes is a trip to the nursery for some blooming good ideas!
