The Flower Girl

Hey folks. If you get a strange message from me in your inbox, it's a scam. I rarely use Messenger. Do not click on the message! Just want to delete this page altogether but FB males that very difficult!

Now is a great time to prune your Hydrangeas! This Hydrangea Paniculata likes a good prune! Don't be afraid to give it a good hack. This will give you bigger blooms! Also spread some slow release fertilizer with a higher Phosphorus content, around the base of the shrub for larger blooms.

Wishing you all a blessed New Year! Thank you to all my clients for another successful gardening year in 2020! I'm already missing the gardens, though the winter rest is welcoming too. If I'm not on Facebook, The Flower Girl can be found easily on an internet search. See you in the Spring!

Oh this poppy! Purchased this last year and it's flourishing in this dry heat. Letting this one self seed for more beautiful blooms next year! Poppies are so versatile, growing in sun or shade and extremely drought tolerant.

Beautiful shade garden

I've been experimenting with perennials in containers and liking the results! Find plants from your garden and add a few inexpensive annuals for a little more colour. Choose perennials that have foliage colour or continuous blooms like purple Salvia pictured here. I'm trying out Rudbeckia too. We'll see how that turns out. :) Also pictured: lamium, hosta, sedum 'Autumn Joy', cosmos and alyssum.

...and loving it. So good to be back in the dirt!
