Looking for an easy-care flower that packs a punch? Look no further than nasturtiums! These beauties boast exotic blooms in vibrant shades of yellow, orange, red, pink, cream, and even a striking new dark purple! They'll add a burst of color to your window boxes, containers, or borders.

Nasturtiums are a gardener's dream. They're easy to grow from both seed and starter plants, and thrive with minimal attention, making them perfect for beginners and seasoned gardeners alike.

It's a great idea to install plant supports for tall herbaceous plants whilst they're still young and small.

Plant supports help protect against wind damage and heavy rainfall and also help keep the plant upright when large flowers start appearIt'

Have you been enjoying all those stunning Rhododendrons and Azaleas in bloom? You can enjoy that vibrant show in your own garden too, even if your soil isn't naturally acidic.

The secret? Plant them in pots using ericaceous compost, a special mix formulated for acid-loving plants. To keep them flowering beautifully year after year, give them a slow-release feed designed for acidic plants. And remember, consistent watering is key, especially in July and August when the new flower buds are forming.
