I have been inspired by the amazing show of Dahlias at the Christchurch Botanic Gardens to grow them for the first time. When is the perfect time to plant tubers and what soil preparation do you recommend?

We have a fairly large bank I would love to fill with easy-care flowers and foliage. Preferably ones I can use as cut flowers in vases and arrangements as I’m a florist. Any advice on what will grow well in our area?

When is the best time to cut down or cut back perennials for winter?

Is it okay to grow veggie plants amongst my flower plants? Are there any that don’t like to be planted together?

Can you please tell me if wildflower seeds come up each year?
