Planting & Care Tips

• Position: Place in full sun or partial shade depending on plant choice. Most bedding plants and herbs thrive in at least 4-6 hours of sunlight daily.
• Soil: Use multipurpose compost; add slow-release fertiliser for best results. Ensure drainage holes are clear to prevent waterlogging.
• Irrigation: Water regularly during dry spells—container plants dry out faster than those in the ground.
• Seasonal Use: Swap out displays throughout the year—spring bulbs, summer annuals, autumn heathers, or winter evergreens.

Design Ideas & Companion Planting

• Create a tiered effect with all three sizes—plant trailing lobelia in the medium pot, upright geraniums in the large, and ornamental grasses in the extra large.
• Add instant colour to patios and balconies where digging is not possible.
• Makes an excellent container for herbs like rosemary, thyme, or mint near your kitchen door.
