Feature Plant:

Dianthus!

Bright colours and easy to grow flowers, they’re a winner in our books!

This little green mounding shrub produces sprays of flowers in all shades from pinks, whites & reds with modern purple shades too. A hardy, naturally pest-resistant plant blooming from Spring all the way until Autumn they are a staple in many cottage gardens.

Ideally they are best grown in a full sun location where they receive at least 6 hours of sunlight per day, in well drained soil boosted with organic matter dug in – Super Growth pellets should do the trick.

You can start these little ones off as seeds indoors and once they have grown to around 5 to 6 centimetres tall, transplant them out into the garden.

Keep up a regular watering regime and give them a dose of Neptune Seaweed liquid every 3 to 4 weeks and you won’t be disappointed by their continual displays of bright flowers and their cinnamon, clove like fragrance.

Did you know?

The Dianthus is named ‘the flower of the gods’ as it is derived from the greek words dios (meaning god) and anthos (meaning flower)!

Kristin Ernst, Lower Wonga Qld!

Bright, Beautiful Blooms!

Roses are the main feature in Kristin’s garden and are grown
using a combination of Rose & Flower fertilizer and Neptune
seaweed to keep them blooming prolifically and the plants
healthy and disease free. Not Just Mulch is used around the
base to keep down weeds and conserve moisture.

Super Chicken’s Top Tips!  

• Time to finish planting bare rooted trees, shrubs and perennials while they are dormant for winter.
• Prune your citrus trees and fertilise with Katek Super Phoska + TE Citrus & Fruit Fertilizer.
• Re-mulch your garden beds as the warmer weather comes in. The ideal depth is about 40mm deep with Katek Not Just Mulch to stop weeds growing through.
• Time to take cuttings of Frangipanis!
• Start your spring vegetable seedlings indoors so they are ready for transplanting next month!
