What to plant in July

For spectacular flowers and vegies in spring! - by Better Homes and Gardens
  • 06 Jul 2021

If you want to enjoy a colour show this spring, start by planting a selection of flowers and vegetables in your garden this winter.  

WATCH: Charlie Albone and Melissa King's top tips for gardening in winter

For a plant with multiple hues, add Heuchera to your garden, or if want that wow factor then the flowering Iresine is sure to stand out. After something tough yet striking? You can't go wrong with purple heart which makes for a stunning groundcover. 

Ask at your local nursery which zone best matches your conditions or get the key to climate zones here.
