Transform Your Patio with the Summer Container Collection

Bring your outdoor space to life with this expertly curated mix of summer-flowering bedding plants. Specially chosen for their ability to thrive in containers, these annuals deliver a dazzling display of colour and texture all season long.

• Plant Selection: Includes a variety of reliable, free-flowering annuals such as petunias, begonias, marigolds, and more (varieties may vary based on availability).
• Growth Habit: Compact and bushy forms fill containers quickly, creating lush mounds of colour.
• Flowering Period: Expect vibrant blooms from late spring right through to the first autumn frosts.
• Mature Size: Most plants reach 15-30cm in height—perfect for window boxes, pots, or hanging baskets.
• Cultivation: Suitable for UK gardens; plant out after the risk of frost has passed (typically from May onwards).

Growing Guide & Care Instructions

• Light: Position containers in full sun or partial shade for best results.
• Soil: Use a quality multi-purpose compost; ensure containers have drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
• Watering: Water regularly—container plants dry out faster than those in borders.
• Feeding: Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser every two weeks during active growth and flowering.
• Pest & Disease: Check regularly for aphids or slugs; remove faded flowers to encourage more blooms.

Design Tips & Companion Ideas

• Create eye-catching combinations by mixing trailing and upright varieties in each pot.
• Add evergreen herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra texture and scent.
• Position several containers together for maximum patio impact—group by colour or height for a designer look.
