The bridesmaid container plant collection
A beautifully coordinated collection featuring the soft blush tones of Petunia 'Designer Bridal Blush', the cascading pastel pink blooms of Diascia 'Diamond Light Pink', and the vibrant double violet flowers of Calibrachoa 'Can-can Double Provence Blue' for a graceful, summery display.
Supplied as either an easyplanter or as a bedding plant collection (rooted cuttings).
Each pre-prepared easyplanter measures 30cm (12in) in diameter and 8cm (3in) high, and contains a colourful mixture of plants. The trays also contain a slo release fertiliser that will get the plants off to a flying start. Grow the potted up easyplanter on in a frost free environment and it should be ready to place outside 2-3 weeks later (weather/late frosts permitting).
Made from 100% recycled plastic, the trays can be widely recycled after your seasonal displays have finished. Alternatively, reuse them as bulb baskets - place a layer of compost in the bottom, add bulbs and plant - place a layer out in the garden. When the flowers fade, lift the basket and store the bulbs ready for another year.
Please note that the pots in the photographs are not supplied with the plants, but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from.

How to care for The bridesmaid container plant collection:
If purchasing as a bedding 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.
If receiving an easyplanter, half-fill your decorative pot or basket with compost (you'll need one with a diameter of at least 30cm or 12in), place the tray on top, and fill in any gaps around the edges with a bit more compost before giving it all a good water. The roots of the plants can grow through the base of the plastic tray and into the compost below, so provided it is kept frost free and well watered, the plants will soon start to fill out.
