Autumn’s an important season to prepare for garden colour in late winter and spring. It’s a good idea, though, to get flowers well established before winter because they’ll slow down in cold weather. Be aware, too, that day length affects plant growth. Even though daytime temperatures might still be quite mild, many plants will grow more slowly as the days get shorter.
Lots of favourite flowers can be sown economically from seed in early autumn. These will then be ready for planting out into the garden or larger containers before the arrival of winter. Here are some choice varieties you can grow from Yates seeds:
Specially formulated for trouble-free seed raising in trays (or outdoor seed sowing direclty into the ground) and propagation of cuttings.
A systemic fungicide and contact insecticide, kills pests and mites on contact and systemically works from within the plant to control black spot, powdery mildew and rust on roses and ornamentals in the home garden.
A certified input for organic gardening that contains natural lime (calcium carbonate) from Te Kuiti, in the King Country, to adjust soil acidity.
