April Gardening Guide: Essential Plants & Tips for a Blooming Garden

April has arrived, and with it comes the perfect opportunity to breathe new life into our gardens. As the days grow longer and temperatures rise, there's plenty to do to ensure a vibrant and flourishing outdoor space. Let's dive into some essential tasks and highlight a few standout plants from our collections at Plants2Gardens.

1. Planting Season is Here!

With the soil warming up, it's time to introduce new plants to your garden. Here are some top picks from our latest collection:

Achillea Desert Eve Collection: This hardy perennial offers large clusters of two-tone flowers throughout the summer, making it a delightful addition to borders and beds.

Escallonia Showstopper: True to its name, this compact shrub boasts a dense habit and vibrant blooms, perfect for adding structure and color to your garden.

Kniphofia Rasta: An unusual and striking variety of red-hot poker with coral pink and lime green hues, sure to be a conversation starter.

2. Feed and Mulch

To give your plants a nutrient boost, apply a slow-release fertilizer like our Fed N Done. This ensures they have the energy needed for the growing season. After feeding, add a layer of mulch around the base of your plants. Mulching helps retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.

3. Plan for Continuous Blooms

Consider planting a mix of perennials and annuals to enjoy a continuous display of color. Our Spring & Summer Flowering Bedding Plants collection offers a variety of options to keep your garden vibrant throughout the seasons.

Remember, gardening is not just about the end result but also about enjoying the process. Take time to observe the changes, listen to the birds, and relish the fresh air. If you have any questions or need further advice, feel free to reach out or explore our website for more inspiration.
