| Plant of the month: Forsythia |
![]() |
| Look out for named
varieties such as "Beatrix Ferrand", and "Weekend". The
sunshine yellow of Forsythia flowers appear before the fresh green foliage, and for many people represents the first real sign of Spring. Underplant with blue Lungwort (Pulmonaria) for a really eye-catching display. Forsythias are happy in sun or partial shade and are not fussy in their soil requirements. Prune out flowered shoots after flowering to encourage new growth. |
| Tip of the month: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Towards the end of the
month make a start positioning plant support stakes around taller
perennials such as
Michaelmas Daisies, Delphiniums and Lupins. By addressing the problem early in the year you allow the plants to develop a more natural growth pattern as the season progresses. Look out for the Tom Chambers adaptable range of support systems. |
