Description

The Busy Lizzie is back! The number-one bedding plant grown in the UK for years is making a return with a breeding breakthrough of mildew resistance to bring a riot of summer-long colour to your garden.

We are extremely excited to be able to bring this Busy Lizzie to you and we're sure you'll be just as keen to have them in your garden where their reliability and proven performance make 'Beacon' Impatiens a top choice.

One of the most popular bedding plants, Busy Lizzies (impatiens walleriana) are guaranteed to excel in UK gardens, rain or shine, sun or shade! During intensive, large-scale trialling, 'Beacon' out performed other varieties even when exposed to downy mildew, growing superbly and lasting until the first frosts.

Initial growing trials have shown a natural resistance to downy mildew greater than other Busy Lizzie varieties currently available, and we have been particularly impressed with how well these garden favourites have grown and flowered reliably.

Robust and durable, plants are top performers in the garden with reliable, consistent growth and summer-long flowering in a great range of dazzling colours: white, red, rose, violet, orange, and orange star.

Unlike many other bedding plants, Busy Lizzies will thrive in shade as well as a sunny position and make superb arrangements in both baskets and pots - plus they're a great filler in the flower border, where they quickly plug gaps between plants.

Enjoy free delivery on these plug plants! Please note: If you add other items to your order then this may include a postage surcharge.

Supplied as 120 Pro Plug Plants, to plant straight out when risk of frost has passed.

Top Tips

Deadhead faded blooms to prolong flowering.
Space plants out to keep them compact - the more tightly they are packed, the taller they will grow. 20-30cm (8-12in)

Care Information

Allow plants to harden off for a week or so before planting out, and only do so when all risk of frost has passed.
Plant in containers with a good, multipurpose compost or in the flower border in fertile soil - it helps to dig in plenty of well-rotted organic matter.
Plant in full sun or partial shade.
Water regularly, preferably from under the plant, and remember that containers will require more regular watering.
Feed with a general-purpose feed once a week when in bloom.

Delivery Information

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.

If you have ordered a 'pre-order' item, these will be sent out as soon as possible after the quoted dispatch date and we generally ship your entire order with any pre-ordered items. Once your order has been dispatched, we will send you an email with details on how you can track it.

We send most of our orders via a fully tracked courier service with Yodel. We will send you a tracking link as soon as your order has been dispatched. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, we will not require a signature on delivery, and we ask out couriers to leave your item in a safe place ad your delivery address.

If you have delivery instruction and require our courier to leave your item in a specific place, please let us know - there is an option to leave a message for the courier at the checkout.

For smaller and single-item orders, we may send these via the post with Royal Mail - Tracking will not be available for orders sent via this method.

**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.
