How you will receive your plants: Selected by our team of experts and sent from our nursery, you will receive your plant in a 9cm pot, ready to plant out. Can’t plant straight away? Place in a sheltered spot and water regularly to keep the compost moist. Planting tips and hints: Planting in containers: Sprinkle a layer of stone or gravel in the bottom of the container to aid drainage. Use a high-quality young plant or general-purpose compost space the plugs evenly with enough space to allow the plants to grow. Mix in a slow-release granular fertiliser in the compost before planting to provide plenty of nutrients. Water thoroughly once planted up. Continue to water every 3-5 days and don't allow the container to dry out. Planting in the ground: Dig a hole approximately twice as deep and 3 times as wide as the plant, if your soil is heavy mix in general-purpose compost, horticultural sand and stone or potting grit to ensure good drainage. Gently compact the soil around the plant and water thoroughly. Feeding and aftercare: Deadhead faded flowerheads. Cut the plants back to ground level in autumn.
