Peach ‘Garden Lady’ is a slow growing variety which does not need a pollinating partner as it is self-fertile. It is perfect for a patio fruit tree for a smaller garden. It is a genetic dwarf which will remain under 2m (78”) when it reaches maturity, no matter the rootstock which means there is no pruning needed. In the spring stunning pink flowers begin to cover the branches, which is then followed by the juicy, delicious fruits with its dark yellow flash and blush pink skins. This variety is a freestone which means the flesh of the fruit does not cling to the seed pit. It is early to crop which means if you are lucky you may even get a to pick the fruit after the first year or two after planting. Harvest the fruits in mid- August. As it is compact, they are ideal for containers as they can then be moved around to avoid the frost and protect the spring blooms.

Pot up salvia plants into pots of free-draining compost, and grow them on in frost free conditions until large enough to plant outside. When all risk of frost has passed and plants are well grown, acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days.

These plants are lifted from the nursery field when dormant, and sent to you in late autumn or spring for planting. They often look dead on arrival, but they are just resting in the dormant period and will establish quickly for a strong start in the garden come spring. Set out in prepared soil in holes wide enough and deep enough to lay out the roots. Tread down the planting soil to knock out air pockets. Water well to settle. Apply a mulch to protect roots from cold temperatures. If conditions prevent immediate planting, set roughly into loose soil or a pot of compost (‘heeling in’) to protect the roots. Set these at the same level as they were in the nursery field – you should see a soil line at the base of the stem. Stake trees, taller shrubs and roses to prevent root disturbance.

Salvia splendens requires little aftercare except for regular watering and an occasional feed.
