Fresh Starts & Blossoms!
Get a Head Start on Spring – What to Sow in Late Winter
July 31, 2025
September is here, and with it comes the excitement of spring – longer days, warmer weather, and the promise of gardens bursting into life. At Plant Paradise, we believe spring is the perfect season for fresh starts and bold blooms. Let’s dive into what to plant, quick spring tips, and of course, our much-anticipated Spring Festival!
Quick Spring Gardening Tips
- Refresh Your Soil – Add compost and organic matter to give plants a nutrient boost.
- Deadhead Winter Blooms – Clear old flowers to make way for new growth.
- Check Irrigation Systems – Ensure your sprinklers and hoses are ready for warmer days. Water your garden and lawn less often, but for longer at a time.
- Fertilize Regularly – Feed your plants for strong roots and vibrant blooms.
Plan Your Colour Scheme – Mix annuals and perennials for a season-long show.
