FAQs
Can I plant these in containers?
Yes, their compact, multi-branching habit makes them perfectly suited for patio containers and window boxes.
How soon will they bloom?
If planted in August, you can expect blooms within approximately 6 weeks.
What kind of soil do they need?
They are quite versatile and can handle most soils, provided they are well-drained and not waterlogged.
Do I need to fertilize them?
While they thrive in many conditions, planting in fertile soil will provide the best growth; otherwise, a balanced general-purpose feed can be used.
How large do they grow?
They reach a height and spread of approximately 30cm (12 inches).
Why is deadheading important?
Deadheading removes spent flowers, which prevents the plant from putting energy into seed production and encourages it to create more blooms.
Troubleshooting
Plants appear wilted after transplanting
Ensure the root ball is moist and provide adequate water while the plants settle into their new containers.
Lack of flower production
Verify that the plants are receiving sufficient sunlight and ensure they are not overcrowded in their container or bed.
Leggy or untidy growth
Ensure they receive enough light and consider light pruning to maintain the naturally compact, multi-branching shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Upon receiving your 42 plug plants, it is essential to pot them up immediately into fresh compost. This allows the root systems to strengthen before they are moved to their permanent home in a border or container. Choose a site with fertile, well-drained soil that receives either full sun or partial shade. During the first few weeks after planting, water regularly to ensure the plants do not dry out. As the season progresses, simply keep the soil moist and remove faded flowers to keep the plants looking neat and to stimulate the plant to continue producing more spikes.
