Should I cut back the stems of my herbaceous perennials?

Richard's tip of the week

Bring indoors any houseplants that have been in the garden during the summer. Check for pests and spray if necessary. Also look at the bottom of the pot, that’s where slugs or snails hide.

Flower Power testimonials

Just look at my giant flowered hydrangea. Of course, I used Flower Power on it. My neighbours are in awe!

This product is wonderful! I have the most beautiful baskets, houseplants, roses and tubs ever!. Thank you.

Our tomatoes were so heavy we had to tie them up! We used Flower Power and Root Booster – the best product we have ever used.

I’ve been using Lawn Magic for two years now. What a fantastic product. My husband is from Liverpool, now our lawn looks like Anfield!
