FAQs

What is included in the YouGarden Philadelphus Petite Perfume Collection?

The collection includes three established Philadelphus plants in 9cm pots: two 'Petite Perfume Pink' and one 'Petite Perfume White'.

How tall and wide do these plants grow?

Both varieties typically grow to around 120cm (approximately 4 feet) tall and 120cm wide, maintaining a naturally neat shape.

When is the best time to plant them?

They are supplied ready to plant immediately upon arrival. Ideally, plant them during spring or autumn when the weather is milder.

How often should I water them?

Water regularly, particularly in the first year after planting and during dry spells, ensuring the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Can I grow these plants in pots?

Yes, they are well-suited for growing in decorative pots and containers on patios or balconies, provided the containers have good drainage.

What care do they need after flowering?

After flowering has finished, give the plants a light trim to maintain their desired shape and encourage compact growth for the following season.

Are these plants suitable for very cold climates?

Yes, both varieties are hardy to -25°C, making them suitable for most climates in the UK.

Troubleshooting

Plants not flowering

Ensure the plants are receiving adequate sunlight (minimum 4-6 hours per day) and have good drainage. Avoid over-fertilizing, which can promote foliage growth at the expense of flowers. Prune only after flowering.

Yellowing leaves

This can indicate overwatering or poor drainage. Check the soil moisture and ensure the area is not waterlogged. Improve drainage if necessary.

Pests or diseases observed

While generally resistant, inspect plants regularly. Treat minor pest issues with insecticidal soap. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal problems.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Unpack: Carefully remove the three established plants from their 9cm pots upon arrival.
  2. Prepare Site: Choose a location that receives full sun or partial shade and ensure the soil has good drainage.
  3. Planting: Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball, place the plant in the hole, and backfill with soil. Water thoroughly after planting.

Compatibility:

  • Soil: Prefers well-drained soil. Avoid waterlogged conditions.
  • Companion Planting: Pairs well with lavender, salvia, nepeta, roses, and other classic cottage garden plants.
  • Container Growing: Suitable for planting in pots and containers on patios or balconies.

Care:

  • Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry periods, ensuring the soil does not dry out completely.
  • Pruning: After flowering, give the plants a light trim to maintain their shape and encourage bushy growth. Avoid heavy pruning.
  • Fertilizing: Generally, these plants do not require heavy feeding. A light application of a balanced fertilizer in spring can be beneficial if growth seems weak.
