Tiny garden tricks<br />
If your garden is on the small side, or you only have a patio to work with, fear not! Read on for<br />
the perfect patio and small garden plants and inspiration<br />
We’re planting…<br />
Petunia ‘Lightning Sky’ the latest in novelty petunias that is very hard to ignore.<br />
The speckled and starred yellow and red-velvet petals sparkle like a firework display.<br />
Each bloom is different, and the cooler days and nights bring out the markings.<br />
Like the other novelty petunias, the flowers are single, with compact, neat growth<br />
that suits smaller gardens, and spill out of containers and hanging baskets. Plants<br />
can double-up as in indoor flower arrangement for a day or two before being<br />
planted outdoors. They like full winter sun, well-drained soil, regular watering and<br />
fertiliser once a month to ensure an endless supply of flowers. The other showy<br />
petunias in the novelty range are the blue shaded ‘Night Sky’, and ‘Ink Splash’ with<br />
‘Baby Doll’ being pink and white.<br />
