Hi
We are off to Tenerife again on 11th March.
As we are not the best gardners, could anyone give advise on the best type of plants "low maintainance" to suit a small balcony.
Aslo where is the best garden centre to buy or get advice.
Lawson, what about lavendar or rosemary? Both are good for dry conditions and are extremely low maintenance (just a little trim in the winter is all they need). They will provide colour and scent for the majority of the year.
as There is no winter as such in tenerife most plants flower all year round. were crap gardners and have experemented with killing quite a few different types in our little garden. fortunatly plants are quite cheap compaired to the uk. borganvillia is a hot favorite as we have discovered we cant actually kill it! which is nice.
:d
Thanks for your replies.
Our apt is in Garden City, Quite near you Makum. We will have a car when we visit so no problem getting to a Garden Centre. Any idea whats Spanish for Lavender / Borganvillia.. Shame on me!
Alternativly if you go through Torviscas and over the motorway toward Torviscas Alto and turn left at the junction. Then stay in the outside lane, this will take you back under the motorway again. There is another garden centre just oppersite the junction under the mortorway. I have not been to that one as its shut on a Saturday.
I think the Spanish is the same as the English for Borganvillia, but the garden centres all have it on display. A 4 foot one costs about €5 Cheap as chips and its hard to kill
In Turkey, bourgenvilia grows in the cracks in pavements, so it must be virtually impossible to kill!! Make sure you trim it back though as it can take over where it's planted!
