Your Plant & Garden Guide 🌿
Summer is the season when gardens truly come to life, and at Aumann’s Plant & Garden Centre, we’re here to help you make the most of it. Whether you’re refreshing your outdoor space, planting for colour, or simply keeping your garden thriving through the heat, our summer garden guide has you covered.
Start with heat-tolerant plants that love the Australian sun. Varieties like hibiscus, lavender, frangipani and grevillea thrive in warmer weather and reward you with vibrant colour and lush growth. For instant impact, summer annuals such as petunias, vincas and salvias are perfect for pots, hanging baskets and garden beds.
Watering is key during summer. Early morning or late afternoon watering helps reduce evaporation and stress on your plants. Pair this with quality mulch to keep soil cool, retain moisture and suppress weeds — a simple step that makes a big difference. Our team can help you choose the right mulch for your garden style and plant types.
Summer is also the ideal time to create outdoor living spaces. From screening plants like Lilly Pillies for privacy, to potted feature plants that soften patios and decks, we stock everything you need to turn your backyard into a relaxing retreat. Don’t forget to add bird baths or water bowls to support local wildlife during hot days.
At Aumann’s, we pride ourselves on offering expert advice, healthy plants and a wide range of garden supplies — all in one place. Visit us in-store this summer and let our friendly team help you grow a garden you’ll love all season long.
