Spring Plants We're Loving

Star Jasmine
Bring the scent of the tropics to your garden with Trachelospermum jasminoides, commonly known as Star Jasmine. This versatile jasmine can be grown up walls, pergolas, trailing along the ground, and even in containers. With delicate star-shaped blooms and glossy green foliage, it’s no wonder Star Jasmine is a favourite amongst gardeners.
Hydrangeas
Hydrangeas are classic shrubs renowned for their giant clusters of flowers in shades of white, pinks, purples and even blues. These striking plants thrive with minimal maintenance, just plant them in a spot with full to part shade and well-draining soil. We love the elegance that hydrangeas bring to your outdoor space.
Passionfruit
There’s nothing quite like the flavour of freshly ripened passionfruit picked straight from the vine. This tropical favourite is easy to grow, especially in Auckland’s subtropical climate. Plant passionfruit vines against a warm, north-facing wall in a raised garden bed, using a support structure to help them climb. Mulch well for bountiful harvests.
