Garden

Hemerocallis Aztec

 The garden is now in full flower with hundreds of Agapanthus and daylilies in flower and the borders full of colour out so do call and see us and help the St Margaret's Somerset Hospice Appeal.

      

Things to do:


Make sure that newly planted herbaceous are regularly watered as they will not have established a good root system yet. 

Do not allow pots of lilies to fully dry out or they will abort their flowers. Lilies in the garden need watering in prolonged dry periods as well.
