Contrasting black mondo grass looking healthy and striking.

This evergreen perennial variety differs as it produces purplish-black leaves that will prove an excellent contrast against green leaved plants.

Mondo grass is a popular border choice for dividing garden and pathways, it will also grow as a dense ground cover in areas of full sun to part shade.

Flourishing in soils that are sandy, loam as well as clay based; given they are well drained and will tolerate frost and wind.

WINTER GARDENING….
Winter might feel like a time to pack up your gloves and wait for spring, but it is actually one of the most rewarding times to grow, prep and protect your garden. With the right essentials, your garden can stay productive and well cared for while setting the stage for a flourishing spring ahead.

Feed your garden even in winter, roots never truly rest.

Plants slow down in winter, but their roots are still active. Winter is an ideal time to nourish the soil and support microbial life. We suggest Searles 5IN1 Organic Fertiliser Liquid. Made from a rich blend of manures, blood and bone, fish, seaweed and worm castings. Easy to apply via watering can or hose. Delivers essential nutrients and boosts beneficial soil microbes. Great for veggies, flowers, herbs, indoor plants.

Winter Gardening Checklist

🔵 Fertilise with organic liquid feed
🔵 Add mulch to protect roots and retain moisture
🔵 Prep garden beds with compost or soil improver
🔵 Watch for snails and slugs
🔵 Plant hardy vegetables and winter herbs
🔵 Protect tender plants and winter vegetables with fleece or mini cloches
🔵 Prune roses and stone fruit
🔵 Keep watering early in the day to avoid frost damage

Your garden will be ready for spring 😊
