Description

These wonderful, compact plants have rosettes of beautifully textured leaves and are smothered in flowers between October to March and will look fabulous wherever you plant them. They're great in pots, containers, beds, or baskets, in partial shade or sun - they really are easy to grow and bring the spring garden to life with their cheerful colours.

Perfectly hardy in the garden, they're great when combined with other perennials and underneath trees and shrubs where they'll flower for months, gradually forming large clumps that can be divided every few years to give you more plants.

Care Information

It is best to acclimatise your polyanthus plants to outside conditions over 7 to 10 days, before planting out in their final positions.
Choose a position in full sun or semi shade on any fertile, moist, well-drained soil.
Keep well-watered (but not waterlogged) until established - during the winter, avoid over-watering and don't allow water to sit in the crown as this may cause the plants to rot in cold conditions.
Deadhead spent blooms to encourage more flowers.
Established or overcrowded clumps of polyanthus can be divided in late autumn and early spring.

Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
