{"product_id":"alcea-polarstar","title":"Alcea 'Polarstar'","description":"\u003cp\u003eFeaturing luminous, ice-white petals arranged elegantly around a soft, pale yellow centre, this pristine selection practically glows in low-light conditions, making it a staple for twilight or \"moon\" gardens. The pure, clean colouration is frequently utilised by landscape designers to visually cool down brightly coloured, aggressive planting arrangements and provide a resting place for the eye. The bright white, saucer-like blooms open wide, creating a highly visible, towering column of light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tender, emerging shoots of this specific plant are highly attractive to nocturnal pests, you must maintain a clear, debris-free zone around the base to eliminate dark, damp hiding spots for slugs and snails. Avoid planting this variety in dense, heavy soils, as the taproot requires loose, friable earth to establish the necessary foundation for its towering height. As the flowers fade from the bottom up, meticulously snip off the dead heads with sharp scissors to keep the white column looking sharp, pristine, and free of brown, decaying matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only.

Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GardenersDream","offers":[{"title":"9cm pot","offer_id":59313188962638,"sku":"PLANTS_-V-_ALCPOL_9CM","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0862\/7827\/5406\/files\/00_GardenersDream_Alcea_Polarstar.jpg?v=1778225975","url":"https:\/\/www.gardenersdream.co.uk\/products\/alcea-polarstar","provider":"Gardeners Dream","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
