Water smarter with a weeper hose at your place. Wetta Weeper hoses direct the water where it is needed - in the ground! Used on low pressure, the weeper hose will soak in and down, creating a strip approx 40cm wide. Fantastic along hedge lines and over gardens. Lay it under mulch, or under the soil to prevent moisture loss.

These hoses also help keep your plants free of disease as the water is distributed straight into the soil and not over the leaves like a sprinkler or hose (damp/wet leaves are the perfect breeding ground for disease).

Available in 15m or 30m lengths.

If long lasting colour and an abundance of flowers in full sun is what you’re after, then the Grandessa Daisiy is the perfect plant. They are always a Green Door favourite year after year.

Great for gardens, pots and lawns and makes the most of our precious water.
