Do you know what a Mediterranean climate is? Well it’s a climate where the summers are quite dry and the winters are quite wet.
So Mediterranean plants actually like water in winter so that they enter spring with a lovely moist soil.
Which are the plants that like winter water?
Well, plants such as olive trees, herbs such as rosemary, sage, thyme, oregano and marjoram; oleanders, bougainvilleas, edible figs, lavenders and grapes.
Most Western Australian native plants also prefer a Mediterranean climate.
So don’t overwater these plants in summer as this may cause plant disease problems such as root rot.
To treat root rot, try Yates Anti Rot.
Hooroo! Don.
