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.
Planting tips and hints:
Planting in containers:
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 space the plugs evenly with enough space to allow the plants to grow. Mix in a slow-release granular fertiliser in the compost before planting to provide plenty of nutrients. Water thoroughly once planted up. Continue to water every 3-5 days and don’t allow the container to dry out.
Planting in the ground:Â
Dig a hole approximately twice as deep and 3 times as wide as the plant, if your soil is heavy mix in well-rotted farmyard manure or soil conditioner to ensure good drainage. Gently compact the soil around the plant and water thoroughly.
Feeding and aftercare: Plant in free-draining soil and water regularly during the growing season. Deadhead regularly, and cut back faded flowerstems in autumn. Mulch around the roots in autumn to protect them from frost in winter, and move container-grown plants into a frost-free environment.
