Plant your favourite

Blue Mountain Nurseries

Working with nature here in Tapanui is a comforting mix of the predictable and the joy of what the new seasons deliver us. A perfect example of this is our Snowdrop and Pleione season. The season is short, but so beautiful! Plant your favourite snowdrops during late winter and early spring in pots, beds, borders or naturalise under trees and shrubs in dappled light.

Pleione’s are a group of small, semi-hardy, highly prized orchids and they are surprisingly easy to grow given the right conditions. In recent years, hybridization between various species and cultivated forms has led to a wide variety of exciting and colourful hybrids.

Blue Mountain Nurseries have a 40-year extensive breeding programme for snowdrops (Galanthus)- and Pleiones. See our online catalogues for new and rare additions under the bulbs tab at our website.

We are taking orders for snowdrops and pleione’s now. Call 03-2048-250 or order online at www.bmn.co.nz.

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

I dance in the sky with green and gold, a spectacle few are lucky to behold; I’m best seen in the south, a celestial sight—what am I, lighting up the New Zealand night?
