So you have been waiting all Winter and Spring has finally arrived. Why does that signify the start of the planting season?
Well, during Spring plants get the perfect conditions to grow. The wet/damp weather gives them the water they need in order to develop. In Spring the longer days mean that the plants will have more daylight and warmth from the Sun which raises the temperature of both the air and soil making the plant grow to its full potential.
In addition the warmer weather and longer days also means that we are more inclined to get out and work on the garden too.
When you have planted the plants that you want to grow, after time the plant will begin to grow a root which will anchor it’s self into the soil. If all the conditions are right, the bulb should grow as expected. But remember that when you plant your seeds/bulbs you will need to ensure you have given the seeds enough space to grow into strong, healthy plants. If they are too crowded they won't have enough light, water or food, which mean that the plant may not grow to its full potential and may even die.
So if you want to plant any seeds, Spring is the perfect time to do it. It is the time seeds germinate naturally in woods, fields and gardens.
At Seagrave Nurseries we can provide a full range of Plants ideal for planting in the Spring, including varieties such as the Famous black caned bamboo which fits into any garden either modern or traditional. This bamboo produces canes which go black in their third year, beautifully offset by deep green foliage. We also have vast Palm trees featuring a striking blue/grey colour which makes these hardy palms stand out from the crowd. These plants can reach approximately 12 feet (4 metres) when planted in U.K. Now that Spring has finally come around this year you can now plant these trees with no hesitation.
