A vibrant duo of piercing blue, apricot and purple tints, perfect for baskets and patio pots.
In each collection you will receive five rooted cuttings of each of the following:
Anagallis monellii 'Skylover': Eye-catching vivid blue flowers appear almost non-stop from late spring to the first frosts on this neatly trailing perennial. With a neat and compact habit the slightly springy stems make this an ideal addition to pots, window boxes and even hanging baskets where the creeping stems can gently cascade over the edges. Grows to 30cm.
Osteospermum 'Purple Sun': Producing its apricot-orange and lilac-purple flowers non-stop from from early summer to the first frosts, this low, spreading perennial offers great value for money. Use it ito line the edges of a path or sunny border, or pot it up and keep it on the patio. In milder regions it may even survive the winter outside! Grows to 30cm.
Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from.

Grow on in a well-lit and ventilated frost free environment (such as a greenhouse, coldframe or conservatory). Plant out after all risk of frost has passed. Pinch out the growing tips to encourage bushier growth, and feed at regular intervals with a high-potash fertiliser throughout summer.
