Ornamental garden in January

Week 1 - 1st to 7th

Happy New Year

Place a few layers of agro-fleece over tender containerised shrubs that cannot be moved to cover.

Loosely tie the leaves of pampas grass together and place bracken / straw around the base of the plant/s.

 

 
 

Week 2 - 8th to 14th

Clear away old fronds from the crowns of hardy ferns.

Check recently planted dwarf fern species, to ensure that they have not been dislodged by rain or frost, firm them in if they have.

Lift any self-seeded hardy perennials and replant in any gaps in the flower bed/s.

Loosen the surface of bulb beds with a fork, and dress with a general fertiliser e.g. bonemeal.
