Potted bougainvillea in our forecourt ready to go. Bougainvillea grow best in full sun and preferably super hot… just like this weeks weather. Our top tip if your bougainvillea doesn’t flower is to stop watering and no fertiliser until it flowers again 🌸 #eckardsgarden

We love watching the crosiers unwind on the tree ferns! These stunning plants thrive in morning sun and afternoon shade, needing rich soil, regular watering and feeding. Our tip is to apply a thick layer of mulch around their base to help with water retention 🌸 #eckardsgarden

Our food gardening department is packed full of yumminess for our sale this weekend. Come on over, we’ll help you grow great grub! 🌸 #eckardsgarden

Potted Lobelia with its two tone flowers are super dainty in our forecourt this week. Grow this cascading bedding plant on the edge of a container in morning sun afternoon shade 🌸 #eckardsgarden

The Sun-loving petunias were very happy for a day of sunshine yesterday. Grow petunias in containers and I well drained soil for the best results this time of the year 🌸 #eckardsgarden #petunia

Arum Lilies love a rainy summer! Grow them in a mostly shady spot with loads of compost and a thick layer of mulch. They get bigger leaves and taller larger flowers when fed often with BioGanic. 🌸 #eckardsgarden #fillthegap #arumlily

A fresh new look this week in blue and yellow and just the right vibe for 2025! The yellow represents positive energy and the blue comforting our mantra as we start the mid twenties 🌸 #eckardsgarden #gardencentre

[Eckards @EckardsGarden]

It’s Poinsettia time! Did you know that they represent the star over the nativity? They were also called Star Flowers and there are a number of stories around them becoming part of Christmas but it’s the Star over the nativity that resonates with us 🌸 #eckardsgarden

[Eckards @EckardsGarden]

The Rose Clocolan has a soft peachy colour with a gentle scalloped petal edge 🌸 #eckardsgarden

[Eckards @EckardsGarden]

Balloon flowers opening up in our forecourt this week. This sweet little summer perennial grows in a mostly sunny spot and stays around 15cm high with large flowers 🌸 #eckardsgarden #platycodon

[Eckards @EckardsGarden]

We’re super stocked they are available again. Plant the New Zealand Rock Lilies in half shade spots as a filler perennial. Though hardly and waterwise they flower with spikes of white flowers through mid summer 🌸 #eckardsgarden #arthropodium

[Eckards @EckardsGarden]

It’s all about Begonias this week as we see them get their fabulousness on after last weeks rain. Morning sun and afternoon shade is their spot for colour right through to late autumn next year 🌸 #eckardsgarden #begonias

[Eckards @EckardsGarden]

It’s time for Day Lilies to shine. Flowering through the hottest months Day Lilies are a great filler for sunny spots. Waterwise and tough too. Plant them with BioRock planting fertiliser and feed them with BioOcean every second month 🌸 #eckardsgarden #hemerocallis

[Eckards @EckardsGarden]

Plants we love here at Eckards! Agapanthus are one of the the most rewarding waterwise indigenous perennials and plants for pollinators to grow in any garden or patio container 🌸 #eckardsgarden #agapanthus

[Eckards @EckardsGarden]

The impatiens Solarscape are just what you need for a mostly shady spot. White flowers stand out in the shade but also in the moonlight. So for evening entertainment areas white flowers are a great option and they’ll match any colour scheme 🌸 #eckardsgarden

[Eckards @EckardsGarden]

Patio Bougainvilleas in hot sunny spots add a touch of the tropical to the look and bring with them the holiday vibe. Waterwise and tough plant your bugs in well drained pots and don’t be tempted to overwater them or you’ll get less flowers 🌸 #eckardsgarden

[Eckards @EckardsGarden]

New Plant Alert! Salvia Salgoon with its light blue flowers from darker buds is simply gorgeous. Growing to a round half meter with continuous flowering throughout summer in a sunny spot is just what we like as a perennial filler 🌸 #eckardsgarden

[Eckards @EckardsGarden]

Fuchsias in our forecourt. Grow the best in containers or hanging baskets where they can cascade and show off their ballerina flowers. Morning sun afternoon shade with regular feeding Multifeed Flowergro and you’re set 🌸 #eckardsgarden

[Eckards @EckardsGarden]

Are you planting up some spooky pots for Halloween 🎃 These Black Petunias are so unusual with their dark velvety look and feel. Petunias need a full sun spot and are waterwise needing water only once a week once established 🌸 #eckardsgarden #blackpetunias
