Plants That Need Water In Winter

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.
