Happy times, sunshine, packing up to go to the beach, picnics in the park and having fun – does that sound like summer? These are the months that those in the gardening world have been working so hard for… it’s the time of year that we can sit back, relax and enjoy the beautiful colours and smells in our gardens.
Welcome to the Blog of Thorngrove Garden Centre, it’s so lovely to have you here!
OUR TOP THREE PLANTS FOR THE MONTH OF JULY;
DELPHINIUM: Otherwise known as a ‘larkspur’; this striking plant just so happens to be the birth flower for July which comes in a wide variety of colours and variations. They flower from late spring to late summer –the flowers may be short lived but whilst they are in bloom, you will be extremely thankful to the newest addition in your garden.
DAHLIAS: These beautiful flowers are considered to be one of the most spectacular additions to your garden, they come in a wide variety of colours and sizes. They enjoy cooler temperatures so these are a great way to add some colour in the shaded areas of your garden.
GERBERA’S: Commonly known for their bright and cheerful daisy-like appearance. Gerbera’s can be susceptible to fungal diseases so correct planting and watering is essential for the care of these wonderful flowers. Keep them planted with plenty of space in the shade with a daily dose of sunshine.
