Planting Instructions

When to Plant:

Plant 2 litre potted plants in spring, summer or early autumn while soil is workable. Avoid planting during frozen or waterlogged conditions.

Where to Plant:
Choose a sunny position with fertile, well-drained soil. Ideal for mixed borders where taller plants can sit towards the back and softer fillers weave through the middle and front.

How to Plant:

• Depth: Plant at the same depth as in the pot, with the top of the rootball level with the soil surface.
• Spacing: Space plants 40–60 cm (16–24 inches) apart to allow for mature spread.
• Soil Prep: Incorporate garden compost or well-rotted manure before planting to improve fertility and moisture retention.

Watering:
Water thoroughly after planting and keep evenly moist during the first growing season. Water during dry spells in summer.

Aftercare Tips:

• Support taller varieties such as Delphiniums and Lupins if exposed to wind.
• Deadhead regularly to prolong flowering.
• Cut back spent stems in autumn or early spring.
• Apply a mulch each spring to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Top Tip:
For the most natural cottage effect, plant in loose drifts rather than straight lines and allow plants to gently intermingle.
