1. Cyclamen  Wonderfully long flowering, indoor or outdoor colour and perfect for table display. To get the best from your Cyclamen, remember they are an outdoor plant, so if using them for indoor colour, rotate them, after a few days indoors then give them a few days outside in a well-lit, protected spot. They love the cold, so putting them outside to chill at night suits them just fine. Don’t over water them and avoid watering the leaves as this can lead to fungal problems. Twist off spent flowers rather than cutting them off.
2. Chrysanthemums - The Mother’s Day Flower,  Every Mum deserves a Mum!
3. Autumn Flowering Camellias - Sasanqua Camellias are star performers in the autumn garden. Sasanquas grow to between 1.5 and 4m high, just perfect for screen and hedge planting.

Hope that you are kept busy attending to the chores that you enjoy in the garden!

Happy Gardening.
