Can’t plant straight away?
If you aren’t able to plant your plugs up straight away then ensure they stay moist. You can place your plugs on a saucer or tray of shallow water so they are able to stay hydrated. Aim to have your plugs planted within 3 days. We grow our plants to be ready for after the frosts have finished but if there is a risk of frost in your area we recommend you hold them inside for a few days to ensure a greater summer display.
Planting tips and hints:
Planting in containers: Plant approximately 6-10 plants per 30cm container. Sprinkle a layer of stone or gravel in the bottom of the container to aid drainage. Use a high-quality young plant or general-purpose compost spaced evenly with enough space to allow the plants to grow. Mix in a slow-release granular fertiliser in the compost before placing the plant to provide plenty of nutrients. Water thoroughly once planted up. Continue to water every 1-3 days depending on rainfall and don’t allow the container to dry out.
Planting in the ground:  Dig a hole approximately twice as deep and 3 times as wide as the plant, if your soil is heavy mix in general-purpose compost, horticultural sand and stone or potting grit to ensure good drainage. Gently compact the soil around the plant and water thoroughly.
Feeding and aftercare: When feeding use a liquid feed high in potash so it gets to the roots of the plant allowing them to absorb the feed. Keep your plants well-watered over the drier summer months which could be daily depending on rainfall.
