Cichlmen, a great autumn winter flower
0:04
for your garden and a lotments. Yes,
0:08
welcome to Gardening with Ben. We're
0:10
going to be creating a autumn garden and
0:13
we're going to be planting some cichlmen
0:15
on the plot. We've got loads of plants.
0:18
We've never grown these ourselves. So,
0:20
we've done a bit of research and seen
0:22
what happens with these.
0:25
So, these are now available in the
0:27
garden centers. We bought these six for
0:31
$5.99 I think they were from the range.
0:34
And yeah, look at the size of these
0:36
plants. Absolutely amazing. These will
0:38
add color to your garden throughout the
0:41
autumn winter period when there's not
0:43
much color happening down in the garden
0:46
and the a lotments and then they'll go
0:48
dormant throughout the summer period and
0:50
then they will bloom again. So if you
0:52
look after them, they'll come back year
0:54
after year and create great color. So,
0:56
we're going to be adding them to an
0:58
autoutuminal bed with our violas.
1:02
And yeah, the tubers and make sure you
1:05
don't water them too much as they don't
1:08
like too much water. Don't water around
1:10
the plant as that can cause damage. So,
1:14
if you're wanting your a lotment to look
1:15
good this autumn winter time, go and get
1:18
some cichlmen and go and plant them in
1:20
the garden. They're absolutely gorgeous.
1:22
We've got different colors. We've got
1:23
these pink ones. We've got some red ones
1:26
and we've got some more light pink ones.
1:29
So, we're going to be planting these in
1:30
the garden and hopefully make it look
1:36
Let me know in the comments if you're
1:37
going to be planting some cichlmen in
1:39
your garden and a lotments to add some
1:41
color this winter period.
