FAQs
Can I grow these in the ground or just containers?
These are suitable for both containers and sunny garden borders as long as the soil provides good drainage.
Do I need to fertilize them?
A balanced liquid fertilizer applied occasionally during the growing season will help maintain vigorous flowering.
Are these plants perennial?
While they are robust, they are typically grown as annuals in most climates as they are not frost-hardy.
How often should I water them?
Water whenever the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, ensuring the soil remains moist but not saturated.
What colors are included in the pack?
The collection includes a mix of pink, orange, and purple blooms.
Troubleshooting
Flowers appearing droopy
Check soil moisture levels; ensure the soil is moist but not waterlogged, as poor drainage is a common cause.
Yellowing leaves
This often indicates overwatering. Reduce frequency and ensure the pot has proper drainage.
Limited flower production
Ensure the plants are receiving at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure success, plant your established 9cm pots into their final location immediately upon arrival. Choose a sunny, sheltered spot that receives plenty of natural light. If planting in pots, ensure the container has adequate drainage holes at the bottom to prevent waterlogging. Use a quality potting mix or well-drained garden soil to encourage healthy growth. Water regularly during dry spells, directing the water to the base of the plant rather than over the flowers to maintain bloom quality. Deadheading spent flowers will encourage the production of fresh, new buds throughout the season.
