Giant, oversized and ruffled the Petunua Superbissima are such a talking point in our forecourt. Extremely weather resilient this variety has opulent flowers that can be over 15cm in diameter… talk about standing out in a crowd! 🌸 #eckardsgarden

It’s all about Begonias this week as we see them get their fabulousness on after last weeks rain. Morning sun and afternoon shade is their spot for colour right through to late autumn next year 🌸 #eckardsgarden #begonias

The impatiens Solarscape are just what you need for a mostly shady spot. White flowers stand out in the shade but also in the moonlight. So for evening entertainment areas white flowers are a great option and they’ll match any colour scheme 🌸 #eckardsgarden
