Growth & Care Guide

• Planting: Pot on plug plants upon arrival or plant directly outdoors after the last frost (typically late April–May).
• Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil is best; most varieties tolerate a range of pH levels.
• Light: Full sun to partial shade suits all included varieties; more sun encourages stronger flowering.
• Watering: Keep moist while establishing; once mature, these perennials are drought tolerant and require less frequent watering.
• Hardiness: All included species are hardy in UK conditions (typically USDA zones 5–9).
• Maintenance: Deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering. Cut back foliage in late autumn or early spring before new growth appears.
• Fertiliser: Apply a balanced slow-release fertiliser in spring for best results.

Design & Planting Ideas

• Create bold drifts by planting in groups of each variety along borders or pathways.
• Makes excellent companions for ornamental grasses, salvia, rudbeckia, and other sun-loving perennials.
• Add height and texture by mixing taller Verbena with compact Coreopsis and Geum at the front.
• Suits cottage gardens, wildlife-friendly beds, or modern mixed plantings alike.

FAQs

• When is the best time to plant these perennials?
  The ideal time is spring after the last frost. Pot on plugs immediately upon receipt if planting outdoors isn’t possible yet.
• How quickly will they flower?
  You can expect first blooms within their first season if planted early; full impact develops as plants mature over 1–2 years.
• Do these plants require special care?
  No special care is needed—just provide sun, well-drained soil, regular watering until established, and deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooms.
