• Established flowering plants need regular feeding to promote strong growth and abundant blooms, using fertilisers designed specifically for roses and flowering varieties.
• Preparing the soil before planting is key, with organic matter like Yates Dynamic Lifter helping improve soil health and support early plant establishment.
• Popular flowering choices such as sweet peas, pansies, daffodils, hyacinths, camellias and chrysanthemums all benefit from nutrient-rich soil at planting time.
• Flowering plants can attract pests like aphids and caterpillars, which can quickly damage leaves and flowers if left untreated.
• At the first sign of pests or disease, use a targeted treatment like Yates Rose Gun to control common insects as well as issues like powdery mildew and black spot.
• Healthy, well-fed plants are generally more resilient and better able to withstand pest and disease pressure.
