FAQs
When is the best time to plant these?
These should be planted out once the threat of frost has passed in your local area, usually in late spring.
Can I grow these in containers?
Yes, they grow very well in large containers, provided the pot has adequate drainage holes.
Do I need to stake the plants?
At 60cm, they are generally self-supporting and should not require staking under normal conditions.
How often do they bloom?
They typically bloom throughout the summer months, especially if you remove faded flowers.
Are they deer resistant?
While generally less preferred by deer, no plant is entirely deer-proof if other food sources are scarce.
Troubleshooting
Yellowing leaves on young plants
This is often a sign of overwatering; ensure your pots or soil have excellent drainage and allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
Slow growth after planting
Ensure the plants are receiving at least 6 hours of sunlight and verify that the soil is not overly compacted.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Arrival: Upon receiving your 6 plug plants, pot them up immediately into small containers using high-quality potting compost.
- Acclimatization: Keep them in a frost-free, bright, and airy space for 2-3 weeks to allow root systems to establish before moving them outdoors.
- Planting: Once the danger of frost has passed, transplant them into their permanent position in soil that is moist but well-drained.
- Watering: While these plants are resilient, they need regular watering during their first year, especially during dry spells.
- Maintenance: Deadhead spent flowers throughout the season to encourage the production of new blooms. Cut back the foliage to ground level in late autumn once the plant has gone dormant.
