Petunia Surfinia 'Burgundy Yellow' Picotee

• Give your plugs a little attention on arrival - unpack immediately, and either mist them or stand them in water for an hour - they may be slightly dry or yellow after being in a dark box in the post, but they’ll quickly recover. If you can’t do this, they can sit in Mini Greenhouses for a week if upright and not too wet.
• We recommend that you leave them to settle for a day somewhere warm, light and airy such as a windowsill or greenhouse.
• When you're ready to pot on, use a good quality, multi-purpose compost, and fill 3-4in pots.
• Make a hole in the compost with a dibber or your finger, then holding each plug by its root ball, place it into the hole and gently firm the compost around it.
• For great results, we recommend using our Windowsill Planters or 9cm pots in Shuttle Trays.
• Give your plants a good water initially, then only when the top compost starts to dry as they don’t like to be left in standing water.
• Grow either on a bright windowsill or a greenhouse for 3-4 weeks before potting up into containers or into flower beds.
• If planting directly into flower beds when all risk of frost has passed, prepare the ground well, removing weeds and digging in some compost or well-rotted manure if your soil is not already rich.
• Plant approximately 20cm apart to allow them room to grow.
• Feed using a high-potash feed such as Blooming Fast Superior Soluble Fertiliser for Flowers & Fruits, to encourage flowering.
  

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.
