GERBERA

: The Flower Garden
Gerbera


Gerbera are a clumpy perenial with coarse leaves that resemble a giant dandelion. The slender petalled daisy flowers are borne on a tall naked stem and measure about 10 centermeters wide, flowers come in most colours except blue and purple.
These plants have a very long season and are easily grown with plenty of sunlight in rich well drained soil free from frost.
Gerbera flowers are among the top five best selling cut flowers, earning their place by lasting easily for a week in water without wilting.

Flowering shrub

Azalea






DESCRIPTION : Azaleas are an evergreen shrub in the Rhododendron family. They flower from now till late August. Flowers range in colour from white, various pinks, and orange through to red, in singles and doubles. the leaves are small dark green and fury.

GROWING TIPS: Azaleas like plenty of water in the summer. I like to dead head regularly when in flower, keeps them looking tidy and encourages more flowers. I prune to shape when flowering is complete. It's good gardening to plant them small and young rather than when mature.
