FAQs
Are these plants frost hardy?
No, they are half-hardy and require protection from frost during the winter months.
Can I grow these in pots?

When do they bloom?
You can expect blooms from mid-summer through to early autumn.
How should I prepare them for winter?
Move the pots to a frost-free environment such as a greenhouse or a shed once the temperatures drop.
Are the flowers good for cutting?
Yes, the unique bi-coloured trumpets make excellent, long-lasting additions to indoor flower arrangements.
Troubleshooting
The plant is not producing flowers
Ensure the plant is receiving at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily and check that it is not being overwatered.
Yellowing leaves during the growing season
This often indicates waterlogging; ensure your pot has adequate drainage holes and that the soil is not overly compacted.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Striking two-tone aesthetic that stands out in any garden setting
- Compact size is ideal for small gardens and balconies
- Suitable for both outdoor planting and indoor vase arrangements
- Includes two established plants for immediate garden impact
Cons
- Requires winter protection due to half-hardy status
- Prefers specific sun-drenched locations to perform optimally
- Less cold-tolerant compared to fully hardy garden perennials
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Upon receiving your 3-litre pots, ensure the plants are placed in a location receiving full sun for the best blooming performance. Plant in well-draining soil or a high-quality multipurpose compost to prevent root rot. While they are resilient, they are half-hardy, meaning you must bring containers into a greenhouse or a sheltered shed if temperatures reach freezing. During the active growing season, water regularly and feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer to encourage strong growth. During the dormant winter phase, keep the plants relatively dry to encourage the necessary rest period before spring growth begins.
