March at Bernaville

March is probably one of our favourite times of year at Bernaville as everything suddenly kicks back to life and loads of newness gets delivered, both from our own wonderful plant production tunnels and local suppliers. We can hear the buzz of excitement as our customers choose their seeds and decide what works for their spaces and we love being a part of that growing journey with you. Easter is also delightfully early this year, so expect daffodils, tulips and blossom a plenty to swing us straight into Spring!

Tony’s top tip

Erysimums were our most successful and long flowering display at Bernaville in 2023 so we wanted to give them their spotlight this month as they are ready to plant! To successfully grow erysimums, otherwise called “wallflowers”, it’s important to provide them with the right conditions. Plant them in well-draining soil that receives plenty of sunlight. Wallflowers prefer full sun, so try to find a spot in your garden that gets at least six hours of sunlight per day. Additionally, make sure to water them regularly, especially during dry periods, but be cautious not to overwater as they don’t like soggy soil. Deadhead the spent flowers regularly to encourage new growth and prolong the blooming period. By following these tips, you can enjoy a beautiful display of colorful wallflowers from spring-late summer sometimes well into October!
