🌱Spring

• Spring - late · Outdoors

  Feed with slow release fertiliser

  Apply a general purpose slow release fertiliser, spreading it around the root area of the plant as it is coming into growth. (Or apply a liquid feed at regular intervals throughout the growing season.)

  This is a simple way to provide a nutrient boost as a single annual procedure.

• Spring-Autumn · Outdoors

  Water in dry periods

  Established plants in the ground can cope with 7-10 days of dryness, and shrubs often manage 2 to 3 weeks. Water one section of the garden thoroughly each day rather than a little everywhere. Check plants in pots more often, especially in hot weather.

• Spring - early-mid · Planting

  Divide when too large

  The plant can be divided if it becomes too large or another plant is required. This may involve physically dividing the clump in two, removing offsets or small bulbs or dividing rhizomes. The new plants can be grown in pots or planted in the ground.
