Can you smell this? Here's a fun garden fact, not everyone can!

Brown Boronia has what's known as a selective scent, meaning some people simply can't detect its fragrance. In fact, a surprisingly high proportion of men (and even some women) are unable to smell it at all.

🌿 Have a sniff next time you're at Acorn Nursery and tell us...can you smell Brown Boronia or are you on team Tony that cant'

We'd love to know in the comments!

How to Fuchsia 🌸

Did you know Fuchsias can flower almost all year round when they're looked after properly?

Watch as Tony prunes his son's well-loved Fuchsia and shares the simple tips to keep these beautiful plants healthy, bushy
& blooming for months to come.

💧 Apply Grow Better Rapid Soak Wetting Agent to help the potting mix retain moisture.

🌸 Feed with a high-potassium slow-release Osmocote fertiliser. One application feeds your plant for up to six months, encouraging healthy growth and plenty of flowers.

A prune and the right care go a long way. Your Fuchsia will reward you with masses of colourful blooms!

🌿 You asked, we answered!

Many of you wanted to know how to keep your Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum) looking lush and flowering, so here are our top care tips.

The three keys to a happy Peace Lily:

💚 Feed: Apply a high-potassium slow-release fertiliser, such as Osmocote, twice a year.

💧 Water: Water regularly. An easy trick? Pop your finger into the potting mix. If you can't feel moisture, neither can your plant!

☀️ Warmth & Light: Keep your Peace Lily in a warm, bright position with plenty of indirect light.

Get these three things right and you'll be rewarded with glossy, deep green foliage and beautiful white blooms throughout the year.

Hellebores are finally flowering 🌸

After a warmer-than-usual autumn, they're a little later this year but they're well worth the wait.

We're especially excited about these two stunning new pink varieties: Hellebore Elemental and Hellebore Magico. We haven't had many pink Hellebores available for a number of years, so we're absolutely loving seeing them back in stock.

Perfect for those tricky dry, shaded spots beneath trees where little else thrives, Hellebores will slowly naturalise and fill the space with beautiful winter colour, year after year.
