Some beautiful blooms at @Duthie Park this morning.

Narcissus 'Jetfire' is our plant of the month for April. 'Jetfire' is a daffodil which grows to 20cm in height. It has narrow, bright green leaves and flowers 7cm in width, with bright yellow, slightly reflexed petals and a bright orange trumpet. It likes moist but well drained soil in full sun or partial shade. The bulbs should be planted in autumn at one and a half to two times its own depth. It’s ideal in flower borders planted under shrubs and can be used as a cut flower. It would also look good in a city or courtyard style or cottage garden. It can be grown in containers on a patio.

It's April! Here are some jobs to do just now in the ornamental garden:- - Scrape away a layer of old compost of permanently potted plants and top dress with fresh compost; - Cut back perennials left with top growth over the winter; - Divide overcrowded clumps of herbaceous perennials and replant them; - Prepare ground for sowing a new lawn or repairing one as soon as the risk of frost has passed;... - Redefine lawn edges with a sharp spade or half-moon cutter; - Start to mow the lawn on dry days (ensure the cutting blades are raised as high as possible for the first cuts); - Start to weed beds; - Plant summer flowering bulbs; - Prune coloured stemmed Cornus to encourage new growth; - Continue mulching borders with organic matter before growth starts bursting into life; - Feed shrubs and roses with an organic fertilizer to encourage them to thrive; - Tie in climbing and rambling roses, and other climbers that are putting on fresh growth; - As the soil is warming up - sow hardy annuals, herbs and wild flower seed outdoors.
