Lovely day and I am out on the nursery doing a stock list of what's available. Apart from plants rolling about after several days of gales it's all looking spring like.
Lots of the herbaceous plants need splitting and with the longer warmer days (hopefully) they will grow away very quickly. In the garden situation this can be a messy job on borders and adjoining lawns. To avoid undue damage in wet conditions, take clumps onto polythene sheeting on drives or pathways to do the splitting.
Check containers of plants that have been placed in the lee of a wall or hedge. These containers may well be very dry and the plants struggling to sustain new growth. Any plants that have dead top growth, but starting to shoot should be chopped down now to avoid damaging new shoots.
The new crop of Griselinia littoralis are potted into 9 cm pots and will be ready later in the year after selling out quickly we have none left at the moment.
Other hedging alternatives we have available now are Olearia traversii, Fuchsia magellanica Floriade, Fuchsia magellanica var. molinae 'Alba', Pittosporum tenuifolium, Luma chequen, Myrtus communis tarentina, Pittosporum tenuifolium, Pittosporum tenuifolium French Lace and Pittosporum crassifolium.
