Whether you are planning lush summer borders, cutting fresh stems for home bouquets, or filling full-sun beds with reliable colour, choosing high-performing varieties ensures a flourishing garden! 🌿

Here is a closer look at two exceptional seed varieties to add to your sowing list this season:

1. Ammi Visnaga Green Mist is a versatile and delightful plant that blooms with soft, pale green to white flower heads. At 100 cm tall, its long, elegant stems make it ideal for cutting and adding airy texture to homemade bouquets or vases.
• Gardener's sowing tip: Ammi seeds are tiny! For an even spread, mix your seed with a bit of fine sand before sowing directly into its final flowering position in your garden beds.

2. Impatiens Solarscape Magenta Bliss are seed-propagated interspecific impatiens that deliver unbeatable, high-impact colour in full-sun garden beds and containers. Solarscape offers the durability of vegetative varieties alongside the flexibility and value of starting from seed. It grows remarkably strong in direct sun, making it an ideal choice for home gardeners and landscape beds alike.

Which variety are you adding to your garden plan: delicate 100 cm stems for vases or durable, full-sun colour for beds?

Spring has officially arrived, and having a visual roadmap makes getting outdoors manageable, rewarding, and fun. 🌸

Your September garden guide:

• Plant up a vibrant hanging basket to brighten your patio or porch with seasonal colour.
• Get your seed trays ready for quick-harvest salad greens and cut flowers.
• Support active new growth by giving your young shoots and potted varieties a gentle feed.
• Protect garden beds against warming sunny days by applying a light layer of organic mulch.

Along the way, keep an eye out for early pollinators visiting your patch, and don't forget to border your beds with companion plants like marigolds to keep pests away naturally.

Did you know that many of our native solitary bees don't live in hives? 🐝

These gentle, non-swarming insects are incredible garden pollinators that need safe, dry spots to nest. Creating your own DIY Bee Hotel using simple materials from around your yard is an easy project that boosts your garden's ecosystem! 🌸

Quick step-by-step overview:
• Protect the frame: Apply a coat of wood sealer to shield the outer box from weather.
• Cut to size: Use secateurs to trim bamboo canes, twigs, and branches to fit your frame depth.
• Sand the edges: Smooth all cut ends so fragile bee wings don't get damaged.
• Secure and pack: Use wood glue and pack the materials snugly so they stay in place.

Mount your completed bee hotel in a warm, sheltered spot near your favourite flowering plants!

August is a transitional month in South Africa. While spring is just around the corner, harsh winds, cold spells, and late frost can make early planting tricky. Taking a few deliberate steps now will give your spring garden a massive head start.

Start by cleaning out old, spent winter annuals and turning organic compost into your beds. Because the August weather is still unpredictable, it is the perfect time to sow your spring seeds indoors using seedling trays filled with fresh germination mix. Keeping them protected for their first 8 weeks ensures steady, healthy growth before they are introduced to the elements.

When planning your layouts, consider hydrozoning: grouping plants with similar water and fertiliser needs together. This simple trick keeps your garden low-maintenance while saving you time and water.

From sun-loving Marigolds, Petunias, and Alyssum to shade-friendly Begonias and Violas, we have everything you need to get ahead of the season.
