Product description
Specifically bred by horticulturists to feature a compact, highly restrained dwarf habit, this plant forms a very tight, lush, low-growing mound of foliage topped with a profusion of solid, bright canary-yellow blossoms. Because it blooms slightly earlier in the season than the taller traditional varieties, it acts as an incredible early-season pollinator magnet. Its reduced, highly controlled stature makes it incredibly versatile for smaller, restricted spaces.
Due to its diminutive size and tidy habit, utilise this specific variety heavily in decorative patio containers and raised window boxes. If planting in pots, you must ensure the chosen vessel has multiple, large, unobstructed drainage holes at the bottom, as the roots will quickly rot if left to sit in stagnant water. Regularly snap off the faded yellow blooms to prolong the exceptionally bright spring display, and ensure the containers are insulated or moved to a sheltered location if a severe late freeze threatens to freeze the root ball solid.
Please 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. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.
