SPRING BLOOMS FILL THE AIR WITH FRAGRANCE.

JASMINUM POLYANTHUM

Spring Jasmine
A true herald of SPRING! The fragrance of this climber is fabulous and the vigour immense. I have fond memories of it growing along our 10m pool fence when I was a girl. Mum calls this form of Jasmine a weed as she spent many hours maintaining it in our family garden. It has an “Award of Merit” from the Royal Horticultural Society of England, yet classified a weed in NSW. So the key is where you plant it. In NSW it grows out of control all year. We have a cooler climate so winter keeps it under control.
Pink Jasmine (Jasminum polyanthum) is an evergreen twining climber growing to 6 meters tall. If you need to cover something ugly in a hurry it is ideal. It produces an abundance of reddish-pink blossom buds in late winter and early spring, followed by fragrant five-petalled star-like white blooms which are about 2 cm in diameter. Pink Jasmine looks great when used as a climber over trellis or arch or in containers.
Ensure it is in a sunny position to maintain density. Give it a prune after flowering and a hard prune at the end of spring.

LAVANDULA 'FROST BERRY RUFFLES'

With uniquely white silver foliage this early flowering, fragrant lavender is a winner. Bred in Australia and selected for its large, vibrant, pink flowers and silver foliage. The main flush of flowers is in early spring, but can continues to spot flower through autumn and winter. Neat, compact habit with aromatic foliage, perfect for the garden or pots. Hardy and easy to grow. 60cmx60cm

BACOPA 'WHITE'

Bacopa has simple, rounded flowers and comes in various colours in single and double forms. They bloom for many months, beginning in spring, and are very tolerant of a hot, sunny position, though can also grow in part-shade. They are excellent plants for creating a soft and flowery effect, especially for ground cover cascading over walls, pots and baskets.

Parlour Palm in Daisy Cement Pot

A gorgeous plant and pot combo perfect for a desk or bedside table! These Parlour palms are super tall and lush, boasting luscious dark green fronds.

Parlour palms are one of the toughest indoor plants. Requiring very little attention and tolerant of a range of light conditions. Allow soil to dry out slightly between watering, position in a bright room away from direct sunlight for best results. Although the Parlour palm will also tolerate lower light conditions.

Big Sweetie Strawberry

There are some plants that just evoke pleasant memories and images.
Of all them Strawberries have to be one of the most evocative.
Strawberries and Cream on a hot summer's day gets the taste buds
humming. Problem is over the years we have been exposed to poor
quality, low flavour and low juice fruit from the supermarket.

Big Sweetie is a variety that was selected by Strawberry Australia as:
very close to the perfect variety for consumers according to taste
panels. Highly rated for the best combination of taste, juiciness, aroma
and appearance. This bright red fruit is moderately glossy, extremely
large and has a good low acid sweet flavour." Try it yourself and you
will find it is the juiciest, sweetest strawberry around.

Plant about 40cm apart in well drained but moist soil in full sun.
The crown of the plant must not be buried too deep. Surround plants
with a good mulch to keep berries from the soil. Remove runners
to encourage fruiting and prune by 60% in late autumn. Regular
applications of Maxicrop Seaweed Fertiliser are a must from spring
to autumn. Strawberries are best eaten at room temperature.
