Lofos 'Wine Red'

• Initially your Lofos plants should be potted into 7.5-9cm pots using a good quality compost. If planting directly into a basket, allow 3-4 plants for a 12-14in basket, or 6 for a really dense effect.
• Grow on in a greenhouse, conservatory or indoors at a minimum temperature of 15C, moving outside during late May or early June and only when the risk of frost has passed.
• In the early stages keep the plants on the dry side and provide good ventilation as the young plants can be susceptible to the fungal disease.
• Pinch out the growing tip to produce a bushy habit when the plants have reached a height of about 10cm.
• To keep your plants growing vigorously keep the plants well-watered and apply a balanced liquid feed at 10 day intervals.
• Mature plants can be over-wintered in a greenhouse at a minimum temperature of 5C.

Our experienced team at the nursery will always carefully package and send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive once you receive and plant them. Although most plants are extremely tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme of weather conditions, we always avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme frosts or heat is forecast. We also avoid dispatching orders over Bank Holiday weekends.
