A beautiful and trustworthy collection of trailing purple and silver, perfect for baskets and patio pots.
In each collection you will receive five rooted cuttings or jumbo seedlings of each of the following:
Calibrachoa Can-Can Double Provence Blue: A trailing, small-flowered and prolific summer stunner, ‘Can-Can Double Provence Blue’ produces vivid purple to violet ‘mini-rose’-like blooms all summer which look glorious cascading from hanging baskets or pots. Grows to 30cm.
Helichrysum 'Silver Mist': With finely textured silver foliage and stems, ‘Silver Mist’ makes a beautiful, branching foil plant for mixed containers or baskets. Easy to grow, this Helichrysum is a tender, perennial favourite with the woolly leaves intensifying in colour with more light. Grows to 20cm.
Verbena 'Enchantment Purple' (Enchantment Series): A mid purple summer stalwart with tones of lilac and lavender make this superb, free-flowering verbena one to try out combined with pale pink, regal red or burgundy. 'Enchantment Purple' has serrated foliage and is a wonderfully vibrant, wildlife friendly container and hanging basket 'bedding plant’, where it will trail happily in large pools of richly robed ground cover. Grows to 30cm.

Grow on in a well-lit and ventilated frost free environment (such as a greenhouse, coldframe or conservatory). Plant out after all risk of frost has passed. Pinch out the growing tips to encourage bushier growth, and feed at regular intervals with a high-potash fertiliser throughout summer.
