Ruby starlet container plant collection

Product Image
A vibrant burgundy and purple planting combination of seasonal summer plants for pots and baskets. One collection comprises sufficient plants to fill a large basket or container.

Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plants, but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from.

How to care for Ruby starlet 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 (9cm plants don’t need potting on but require initial frost protection). 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:

Each combination contains the following plants:
  • 5 x Petunia multiflora 'Shock Wave Deep Purple ' A riotous, rich magenta-purple, mounded mass of flowers, trailing to and flowering from late spring to the first frosts. Grows to 25cm. Supplied as jumbo seedligs.

  • 5 x Verbena 'Showboat Burgundy' An arching mass of trailing velvety dark purple flowers perfect pots and baskets. Grows to 25cm. Supplied as rooted cuttings.
