Plant Nursery Weekly Specials (25-01 of March/April)

Written by National Tropical Plant Nursery | 24 March 2011

This week, from the 25th or March to the 1st of April we're having a Gardenia Week! These amazingly fragrant plants are tough, low maintenace and drought hardy and the white flowers are stunning. Autumn is one of the best times of the year to plant plants in your garden - you'll give them 6 months to settle in before summer! Temperatures are also much more suited to being in the garden. Only limited numbers are available. Visit our online nursery for more great plants.
