Description

Why wait for tiny plugs to catch up? This summer bedding collection arrives as 12 established plants in 9cm pots, giving you a stronger start, quicker colour and easier summer displays from the moment you plant.

These are bigger, more developed plants with less growing-on needed, making them ideal for bright baskets, pots, borders and window boxes without the extra fuss of raising smaller plugs. Plant them straight into their final position and let them get going.

Packed with trailing colour, upright flowers, bold foliage and reliable seasonal favourites, this collection makes it easy to build a fuller, more varied summer display across sunny spaces and container gardens.

Top Tips

Pinch out any leggy shoots early in the season to encourage bushier growth and fuller, more colourful displays.

Care Information

On Arrival:

Unpack the plants straight away and check the compost. If it feels dry, water gently and allow the pots to drain. Keep plants in a bright, frost-free place until they are ready to plant outside, once all risk of frost has passed.

Planting:

Choose suitable positions for each variety, with sun-loving plants in bright spots and Busy Lizzie, Fuchsia and Coleus happier in partial shade. Plant into pots, baskets, window boxes or borders using good-quality compost, then firm in gently and water well.

Ongoing Care:

Water regularly, especially during warm weather and when growing in containers or baskets. Feed every two weeks with a high-potash liquid fertiliser to encourage more flowers. Remove faded blooms where needed to keep plants tidy and help prolong flowering.
