Colours mentioned are based on the most common types but may vary and cannot be guaranteed. When planting a number of perennials, arrange them on the surface so you can see how they will look before planting. Individually knock out each plant from its container. Look at the roots if they are circling around the compost, it is best to tease them out. To do this, push your fingers into the rootball along the bottom edge and pull. Do this in a couple of places. This should encourage the roots to spread into the surrounding soil. Next use a trowel or spade to create a hole just deep and wide enough to set in the rootball. The aim is to bury just the roots, leaving the bases of the stems (when in growth in summer) or the shoots (in spring) above ground. Firm back around the soil, using your hand for small clumps and your heel on larger areas. Water in well to settle the soil and prevent desiccation Specifications Ideal For:  Beds/Borders/Containers/Cottage Garden Theme Flowers:  May - September Position:  Full Sun/Partial Shade Height/Spread:  Various Hardiness:  Fully Hardy Supplied as: 1L potted plants in 6 varieties, ready to plant out now. 1 each of: Delphinium mixed Coreopsis Gaillardia Lobelia Salvia Leucanthemum Contents 6 x Plants back to top
