Care Guide
Planting Advice:
- Unpack plugs immediately and stand them in water for an hour.
- Plugs may be slightly dry or yellow after being in a dark box in the post, but they’ll quickly recover.
- Put them somewhere warm, light and airy such as a windowsill or greenhouse.
- Plant straight into containers and grow on for a week or two before placing out.
- Give your plants a good water initially, then only when the top compost starts to dry. They don’t like to be left in standing water.
- Plant approx. 20cm (8in) apart to allow them room to grow.
- Feed using a high-potash feed such as Blooming Fast Superior Soluble Fertiliser for Flowers & Fruits, to encourage flowering.
- Dead head when flowers fade to encourage more flowers.
Aftercare advice:
- Regular maintenance and watering are essential to grow fabulous containers that last the whole season.
- Check and water containers every day in summer, (unless the compost is wet).
- Aim to keep the compost moist but not soggy and avoid wetting the foliage and flowers.
- From March to June, apply a general-purpose liquid fertiliser once a week.
- Deadhead and trim your plants regularly to maintain shape and encourage new flowers.
- Do not allow plants to set seed.

Extremely well packaged. Items were a little ?dry? but that?s probably best way for dispatching ? It?s my first time with such small plugs but if you are really quick to pot on, which is so easy by the way, it?s cost affective. They were very well rooted too........ fingers crossed with the weather now.

I bought tiny mini plugs that haven?t grown yet but they are so easy to plant, so fingers crossed

I am still waiting for the second tray of plants. No-one has advised me. When I phoned, I was told that they would take "between 7 to 10 days more".
Appalling customer service!!

The plants were of good quality, but how they were handled was not good.
Three trays were loaded in their own boxes and packed in one larger box.
All of the trays were on their side, with plug plants loose within their boxes, and the main box appeared to have been damaged.
Not the usual standard.
