In the month of August you can fully enjoy everything that blooms in the garden! We enjoy the warm weather and make beautiful holiday memories with family and friends. The colours associated with this month are getting warmer and more intense and you can see that in the trends of August.

Dionaea muscipula
In the summer we often suffer from fruit flies and spiders in the house, but thanks to the Dionaea you can get rid of them quickly. With its quirky and colourful appearance, the Dionaea catches insects and spiders, never to let them go. Make sure that this natural insect repellent is not missing in your range!

Strelitzia reginae
Bring the jungle feeling into your home with the Strelitzia reginae! This beautiful plant has been nicknamed the bird of paradise flower: it is like a bird that flies out! This sun worshiper is also one of the few houseplants that can tolerate direct sunlight well, so that is perfect for the month of August!

The bulb Chrysanthemum
Would you like to prepare your assortment for the fall? Then make sure that the bulb Chrysanthemum is not missing. These bulbous shrubs are fantastic fall bloomers that bloom for months if cared for properly. In addition, Chrysanthemums are always a perfect gift, who wouldn't be happy with them?

Various garden tips
-The young shoots of climbing plants can be tied.
-Some plants form huge amounts of seed. This can cause a lot of extra work in the spring because very much seedlings emerge. Cut the seeds before they are ripe to prevent seeding.
-Prune Lavender back after flowering to keep the shrub compact!
-Cut away faded flowers from annual plants and give them plant food for an extra rich bloom.
-Is there little blooming in the garden now? Take a look at late-flowering varieties such as autumn anemones, autumn aster and the monkshood (Aconitum). They can be planted in the garden in September-October.
