As the warmer months approach in Tasmania, it's time to infuse your garden with bursts of color that mirror the vibrant energy of the season. One of the most captivating additions you can make to your garden is the Hydrangea, which is known for its stunning and diverse range of colours. This week, we're welcoming our first delivery of Hydrangeas, featuring a variety with some of the deepest burgundy flowers you'll find in any Hydrangea. From spring through to autumn, this fiery beauty will ignite your garden with its rousing red display, culminating in an exotic dusky mulberry. Let your senses run wild and free as we explore the wonders of this passionate and romantic plant.
November annual colour
We can also add colour to the garden in November by planting Petunia, Zinnia, Portulacas, and Marigolds in frost-free Tasmanian regions, which promises a vibrant Christmas display. For shaded, well-drained spots, consider the delicate flowering Impatiens which can be planted in frost free gardens, pots or hanging baskets. With thoughtful planting and care, these annuals will establish themselves beautifully, creating a festive display to be enjoyed throughout the holiday season.
