Planting & Care Tips

• Best For: Annual bedding plants (petunias, pansies), compact perennials (lavender, thyme), dwarf shrubs (boxwood), or mixed herb arrangements.
• Soil: Use high-quality multipurpose compost; add horticultural grit for improved drainage if growing Mediterranean herbs.
• Watering: Water thoroughly after planting. Allow excess water to drain; empty saucer regularly if used indoors.
• Position: Place in full sun for most flowering plants or partial shade for shade-loving varieties.
• Seasonal Care: Refresh soil and replant each spring for best results. Clean pot between seasons to prevent disease build-up.

Create Stunning Displays All Year Round

• Spring & Summer: Fill with trailing petunias, geraniums, or marigolds for bold colour.
• Autumn: Plant cyclamen or ornamental cabbages for seasonal interest.
• Winter: Add evergreen shrubs like dwarf conifers or winter-flowering heather for year-round appeal.
