Add Lasting Colour with Hardy Cottage Garden Perennials

Transform your borders with this collection of 12 potted hardy perennial plants. Each plant is expertly selected to deliver a classic cottage garden look—think lush, vibrant blooms that return stronger each year, filling your garden with colour from late spring through summer.

• Botanical Benefits: These perennials offer reliable performance in UK gardens, thriving in sunny spots and producing a succession of flowers across the season. Typical genera may include Aquilegia, Coreopsis, Dianthus, or Echinacea, each known for robust growth and enduring displays.
• Growth Habit: Most varieties reach heights between 30–60cm (12–24 inches), making them ideal for borders, mixed beds, or containers. Their bushy forms help suppress weeds and create full, layered planting schemes.
• Flowering Period: Expect blooms from late spring into early autumn, depending on the mix received. These plants attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, supporting local biodiversity.

Planting & Care Guide

• Planting Time: Best planted in autumn or early spring to allow roots to establish before flowering season.
• Location: Choose a sunny or partially shaded spot with well-drained soil. Most perennials prefer neutral to slightly alkaline soil but tolerate a range of conditions.
• Caring For Your Perennials: Water regularly during dry spells in their first season. Once established, these hardy plants require little maintenance—just cut back faded stems after flowering to encourage fresh growth next year.
• Fertiliser: Apply a balanced slow-release fertiliser in spring to boost flowering and vigour.
• Pots & Borders: Supplied in 9cm pots, these plants are ready to be transplanted directly into beds or larger containers.

Create Your Cottage Garden Display
