TIBOUCHINA 'JULES'

 Such a vivid purple! Tibouchina 'Jules' stands out from a distance.

LIMONIUM 'PEREZII BLUE'

 Tall clusters of tiny, deep mauve flowers are produced throughout much of the year.
Ornamental foliage is evergreen and forms an attractive, rounded mound. 

Ideal for use in coastal gardens, rockeries and perennial borders. Foliage forms a crown of large, leathery leaves that offer textural interest in garden plantings year round and should not be overlooked as a feature on its own.
Creating large groups of 3-5 plants or borders of this Limonium will result in low maintenance feature all year long.
Flowers are terrific for use in both fresh or dry floral arrangements retaining their colour over a long period.

With larger ruffled-like 'wings', this long-flowering and showy Lavender is a stand-out that have been popular across the country. Combining improved disease resistance with a compact and mounded habit, perfect hedging plants and will thrive in most sunny gardens or in a pot.

This trio all love a light prune after flowering and organic fertiliser spring and autumn. Great for mass planting a low maintenance garden. Can you tell my favourite colour in the garden is purple?

Tillandsia cyanea with Silver Tin

Paradise form of T. cyanea has flower bracts that last up to 6 months in colour and produce 5cm blue flowers over a 6 week period. Best kept indoors or protected outdoors out of winter rain.
Paradise will grow well but will not flower if kept in a dark room. Water when almost dry on foliage and soil, use a weak fertiliser over warmer months. After flowering, old bracts can be removed, new plants will then form and these can flower the following year.

Awesome unique gift for a housewarming or birthday, paired with a silver tin and wrapped ready to go.

Balm of Gilead - Canary Balm
Balm of Gilead is an aromatic perennial herb that has sprays of soft pink flowers and pungent cedar scented foliage.

Like many herbs, Balm of Gilead is both good for cooking and for health. It has been used for generations as an aid to clearing a sore throat. A strong cup of Balm of Gilead  with a few leaves of Stevia and some fresh peppermint makes a refreshing and calming afternoon tea. Although its prime use is as a health tonic, the leaves can be added to salads and marinades for a pungent flavour. 

Plant in a well drained spot in the garden  and does well in poor dry soils. Cut back hard in early autumn to keep it in shape. Part to full sun position and tolerates a light frost. Water during summer months when dry.

Time to Feed & Protect Citrus

Citrus leaf-miner is a grub of a small moth which burrows under the cuticle of new growth citrus leaves and distorts and curls them.
This unsightly pest damage can be prevented by spraying new foliage with an oil spray like Eco-Pest Oil as the moth will avoid laying eggs on the oily surface.

The only thing to be done about growth already affected is to trim it off the plant and feed with Fruit & Citrus Food to encourage new growth which you can then treat with oil to prevent the grubs.
