How to care for Royal flush container plant collection:
Pot up and grow on under glass until all risk of frost has passed and they can then either be planted outside into a well-prepared bed, or used to fill decorative pots and hanging baskets for the patio. Pinching out the growing tips will encourage them to become bushier, and feeding with a high-potash fertiliser at regular intervals throughout the summer will promote even more flowers to form.
What's included:
In each collection you will receive five rooted cuttings of each of the following:

5 x Verbena 'Showboat Midnight': A prolific, velvety, deep-purple flowering verbena with wonderfully textured, serrated, mid-green foliage.
