Troubleshooting
Plants are wilting after transplanting
Ensure the plugs are watered thoroughly before and immediately after moving them to their new location to reduce transplant shock.
Lack of flowers in autumn

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Upon receiving your 24 plug plants, immediately unpack them and ensure they are watered. It is recommended to pot them on into individual small containers or trays for a week or two to allow them to strengthen before planting them into their final outdoor position in August. Choose a sunny spot with good drainage, although these plants are forgiving regarding soil quality. Once planted, keep the soil moderately moist while the roots establish. These plants are largely undemanding, requiring little more than regular watering during dry spells and the removal of spent flower spikes if you wish to tidy up the appearance of the bed.
