The selection includes a curated mix of plants chosen for their Mediterranean characteristics, such as fragrance, drought tolerance, and architectural form. Specific varieties are selected by Direct Plants to ensure a cohesive and authentic Mediterranean theme.
These plants are selected to be hardy and adaptable to UK climates. While generally resilient, providing a sheltered spot and ensuring good drainage will help them withstand colder periods.
As these are established plants in 3-litre pots, many will be mature enough to flower in their first summer. However, flowering time and intensity can vary depending on the specific species and environmental conditions.
They are versatile and can be planted directly into well-drained borders or used in large patio containers. Ensure adequate space for root development in either scenario.
Water thoroughly after planting and during dry spells while establishing. Once settled, they are drought-tolerant but benefit from occasional watering in prolonged dry periods. Avoid waterlogged soil.
A 3-litre pot contains a substantial, established plant that is ready for immediate planting and will provide a significant visual impact compared to smaller starter plants.
The best time to plant is typically during spring or autumn when the weather is milder, allowing the plants to establish roots before the extremes of summer heat or winter cold. However, they can be planted at other times of the year if care is taken with watering.
Check soil drainage. Ensure the plants are not over or under-watered. Confirm they are receiving adequate sunlight.
Ensure the plants are receiving enough sunlight. Prune at the correct time of year for the specific species, as incorrect pruning can affect flowering.
This can indicate overwatering or poor drainage. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings and ensure the planting site drains well.
Identify the pest and treat with an appropriate, eco-friendly pest control solution. Often, a strong jet of water can dislodge common pests like aphids.
