My jonquils, bluebells and magnolia have just finished. I have a succulent ground cover in full bloom, evolvulus, salvia, limonium, cracker plant, kangaroo paw, Dietes iridiodes and lavender to name a few. My colour scheme is white, red, blue and green. Create a 3 level planting of low, mid size and then larger plants at the back. Don't plant too close together as the plants will dry out quicker and compete for nutrients and always know the overall height and width a plant will reach. By creating the layers a humid environment is created to keep all plants alive. A good quality soil to start with and mulch help. I also apply liquid fertiliser to flowering plants every few weeks as well as them receiving twice a week watering from our bore. I'd suggest natives and hardy plants so they survive a harsher climate.

I am growing jonquils which are just finishing, kangaroo paws, bluebells which have just started flowering. I thrive flowering plants quite often, so a liquid fertiliser and I will soon spray on a seaweed mix now that spring has started. I have many flowering plants that all like different things but generally I prune, fertilise and dig in banana peels after soaking them around the plants and giving them the water from the banana peels. I also control pests like aphid by putting a glove on and squishing them.
