Hydrangea's are an incredible addition to any garden with their compact habit and branching while producing an abundance of colourful (or white!) flowers.
Hydrangea's perform best in a part shade position sheltered from the hot sun and wind in rich, porous and moist soil. Dead head and prune to shape after flowering, they can be cut back quite hard. Feed with an organis slow release fertilizer in late spring.

Pretty Pink Blooms filled with Inspiration- Carolyn
Calathea insignis is a low growing plant which features short stems with light green foliage, highlighted by dark green spots and a deep purple beneath the leaf. This Calathea's gorgeous foliage contrasts perfectly with the matte black cover pot.
Position in a place in a bright to low light position away from direct sunlight. Water when soil feels dry or plant starts to droop.
Recommended for gardens with coarse or sandy soils, non grafted Passionfruit are less likely to sucker and spread as the grafted varieties can do if they are stressed or in difficult ground.
Non Grafted Passionfruit are more suited to warmer climates and definitely need a frost free position to grow to their best.
Passionfruit vines don’t have to be pruned to get good fruit set, but pruning in early spring (after last frosts – important) will help promote new growth where the flowers and subsequent fruit will form. Pruning will also keep a rampant vine under control. Avoid pruning the main stems and main lateral stems, clean up the twining often rampant side stems. You can remove as much as one third of the previous year’s growth.
Keep the vines well fertilised (and watered) all the way from spring through to autumn. In this instance it is helpful if you use a fertiliser which has a N:P:K ratio weighted towards the Phosphorus and Potassium end, so use a ‘Fruit and Citrus fertiliser.
It protects fruit and trees from damage caused by the Citrus Gall Wasp, Fruit Fly (including the Mediteranian Fruit Fly) and other insect pests. It attracts these pests to its glue field and permanently traps them, interrupting their life cycle and reducing their population.
Make sure to feed your citrus for sping as well with organic Fruit & Citrus Food
