How to care for Summer nights container plant collection:
Pot up and grow on under glass until all risk of frost has passed and they can then either be planted outside into a well-prepared bed, or used to fill decorative pots and hanging baskets for the patio (9cm plants don’t need potting on but require initial frost protection). Pinching out the growing tips will encourage them to become bushier, and feeding with a high-potash fertiliser at regular intervals throughout the summer will promote even more flowers to form.
What's included:
In each collection you will receive five of each of the following:
- Calibrachoa 'Cabaret Early Orange': The vibrantly and richly-coloured calibrachoa is a stunning, profusely flowering summer bedding plant, ideal for scrambling over the edges of a pot or hanging basket. Grows to 30 cm. Supplied as rooted cuttings.
- Verbena 'Showboat Midnight': This long-flowering, velvety purple verbena, opposite to orange on the colour wheel, works wonderfully well spilling over the edges of pots and containers. Grows to 30cm. Supplied as jumbo seedlings.
