How to care for Hanging basket bedding plant collection:
Pot up and grow on under glass until all risk of frost has passed and they can be planted outside in a well-prepared bed. Pinch out the growing tips to encourage bushier growth, and feed regularly with a high-potash fertiliser to promote flowering.
What's included:
This collection contains 60 seedlings - 20 of each of the following:
Petunia 'Colour Mixed': Low-growing and bushy, these plants are perfect for beds, pots and windowboxes. They come in a snazzy array of colours (they may vary from the photograph) and will put on a wonderful summer-long display. You can either plant them on their own en-masse, or incorporate them into a full-blown bedding display. Either way they will look fab. Grows to 30cm.
Geranium 'White': White flowers are produced in profusion on the stout stems, which rise above bushy mounds of mid-green foliage. They stand up well to rain and put on an impressive show that can last for months on end if they are deadheaded regularly. If you want to add some other colours to the display, then blues, purples, silvers and softer shades of pink would be ideal. Grows to 30cm.
Lobelia 'Trailing Mixed': A luscious blend of pale and dark blues, with a sprinkling of deep pink and white for good measure, which looks great cascading over the edges of pots, window boxes or hanging baskets. 'Trailing Mixed' flowers profusely from early summer through to autumn, often obscuring the small-leaved foliage.
