Pukeiti is putting on a colourful show this season and the vireya collection is blooming beautifully. Azaleas, camellia sasanqua and hellebores are flowering throughout the garden, with the occasional rhododendron also making an appearance. The garden recently had an autumn feed with organic fertiliser and the team continues to lay mulch to nourish the beds.
