The weeping cherry for everybody!

Weeping cherries have a beautiful cascading shape, gorgeous Autumn colour and fab Spring blossom.

But sometimes the large size and high price of weeping cherries means it’s not an option for everyone, but right now at Hello Hello Plants we have Teeny Tiny Weeping Cherries!

Standing at just 3ft tall, these little beauties can be kept in a small garden bed or popped in a pot and kept on your balcony.

For even more fierce colour you can plant underneath these little cuties!

We suggest some pink or white Bacopa, these are covered in itty bitty flowers, and come spring time your garden will look like fluffy bright fairy floss.

The Teeny Tiny Weeping Cherry comes in Pink, Falling Snow and White (Subatela Alba).

Our Bare Rooted 3ft Cherries are $59.99ea (while stock lasts)

Most people usually have an idea of what kind of garden they like but don’t know what would work best at their property. Chris has a wealth of experience in Garden Design and knows the kinds of questions to ask to get a clear picture of what type of garden you’d like to enjoy. Once that’s organised, he then uses his expert horticultural knowledge to adjust the design to one that fits into your lifestyle and works for your climate and soil conditions. Chris also has extensive knowledge in commercial designs and can tweak architectural plans to ensure the design works for the area and aspect of the new build.

Chris is in high demand for his garden designs so whilst it’s still ok to pop into the nursery with your measurements and a few photos of the garden space you want to re-design on the off chance Chris is available, you can also book an appointment time with him so you don’t have to wait. Call 03 9359 3331 to arrange a one on one Design with Chris.

We’ve made it easy for you to create the type of garden you want.

Inaba Shidare is the most richly coloured of the weeping maple world, the leaves are highly dissected creating a beautiful lacey appearance.

This maple starts as a deep purple red in spring, becomes a brighter red in summer and maintains a rich red until autumn where it turns a brilliant scarlet. Inaba Shidare has many landscaping advantages as well as it’s bright coloured foliage, it’s faster growing than all the other weeping maples and will form a full, rich, round, cascading canopy in only three years.

It is much more robust than other weeping maples, providing that it’s planted in good deep loose soil and well watered, then it will resist burning and scorching in hot sun and wind. So this tough maple is not confined to sheltered or shaded areas, like ordinary maples. They can be planted in pots and used to decorate patios, balconies and courtyards.

They can be used as a feature tree in Formal, Cottage, Japanese and Modern gardens.

The rich purple red leaf of Inaba Shidare maple combined with it’s rounded weeping form will bring a plain green area of the garden to life.

To create a contemporary effect in your garden, plant the Inaba Shidare with Loropetalum plum gorgeous and liriope muscari.

To bring your Japanese style garden to life, accompany the Inaba Shidare with some vivid Scleranthus biflorus lime lava and bold black mondo grass. To produce a charming formal style garden, plant with neat English Box hedging and Cycad Revoluta.

And for that ultra modern style, Inaba Shidare looks lovely accompanied by English Box Balls and Flat Mat Star Jasmine.

Katie loved our $4.99 section, she has a huge rockery to fill up and this is her second visit to the Campbellfield store as she buys the plants for her rockery in stages. These small $4.99 plants quickly bush out to fill those gaps and we’ll be seeing her again. Thanks for the photos! it’s great to see the finished sections of garden, it’s looking good.

Not long to go till the bare rooted season is here, it’s only weeks away but the place is chockers & we need to clear all this beautiful stock quickly!!

Hurry! When it’s gone, it’s gone!

As we’re coming into the cooler season I’m reminded of wholesome and comforting stews, soups and curries.

What better way to have fresh ingredients than to grow your own herbs and fruit in your own garden. Avoid the traffic! Don’t pick up your keys and jump in the car to go buy those forgotten spices, just pick up your scissors and go into the garden. Easy, economical & tasty.

Plant a Curry Tree in the garden. Dried curry leaves have almost no flavour and most recipes usually call for fresh curry leaves which can be left in the finished dish unlike Bay leaves which are usually removed after cooking. If you prefer Thai cuisine then of course it’s Lemongrass for you! Followed by a scrumptions fuit tart and cream of course!

Check out our herbs and fruit section and remember: A bay tree is for life not just for soup!

East Melbourne Tea House Startup Garden Transformation

Testimonial from the girls at Mary Eats Cake

“Thanks to Chris and the team at Hello Hello for going above and beyond in helping us transform our Montrose Tea House front garden. We stood with Chris as he looked at the empty shell of dirt and shrubs that was our ‘front garden’ and were delighted in the concept he created for us. We don’t have green thumbs so we were over the moon that Chris made the entire process as simple, cost efficient, and lovely as possible. We are extremely happy with how quickly the garden transformed and for all his wisdom on plant selection and placement. The entire team at Hello Hello were very helpful, professional, and quick moving! Our rugged patch of dirt is now home to a beautiful selection of plants evoking an English Rose Garden feel for our quaint tea house.”

For the best scones, cake and coffee you can get in the hills visit the girls at 13 Leith Rd, Montrose

Most clients that approach us for a garden concept design have an idea of how they want the garden to ‘feel’, ‘look’, or ‘give a sense of something’ but are unsure of how to achieve it.Whether it’s a Modern Garden with architectural highlights, A Formal Garden with clean lines, A Cottage Garden or Australian Native Garden, Chris can design a garden that works by spending some time with you to find out what aspects you like, and what purpose you envision using the garden for. Chris takes lifestyle into account and if low maintenance is what you’re looking for, that’s what you’ll get.

Chris created the garden that had a quaint English feel to it, the perfect accompaniment to any establishment serving High Tea. The stunning feature trees are set off beautifully with the colourful shrubs, roses & perennials that started small, straggly and more importantly a very economical addition, that with regular watering will quickly bush out and create masses of colour. With a bit of forward planning, planting costs can be halved by using smaller plants that will grow and bloom over the coming weeks. All you need is a little time & plenty of water.

Don’t fear!

If you need to plant standard roses, now is the time to buy! Most nurseries have sold out of bare rooted standards but we purchased a large quantity from South Australia only a few weeks ago and we have hundreds in stock in lots of colours! So if you need 6 Blue Moons, 10 Camp Davids or 5 icebergs it’s easy to get the colour and number that you want.

We have 2ft standard Icebergs now for just $9.99 and a wide range of colours for $10.99 and 3ft icebergs and coloured standard varieties for $19.99.

If you wait until spring when only potted standards are available the price will range from $30-$50 per standard rose but if you need 1 or a large number of standards, now is the time to buy!

On Fathers Day you can have one of our brilliant green Hello Hello vans deliver to your dad anywhere in Metro Melbourne a plant gift for Fathers Day. 3 unlucky fathers will have the honour of being woken up first thing this Sunday morning by Chris in his pink tutu delivering the plants of your choice.
