Product description
This six pack of Cineraria Silver Dust bedding plants will bring a bright addition to flower beds. This half-hardy perennial is a great foil for colourful plant displays, largely due to the silver shades that are mixed with a vivid green. This creates the perfect offset for an abundance of colourful flowers to be placed around it, meaning your garden can have an equal arrangement of both colour and style, with the latter coming from this six pack of Cineraria plants.
When planting these gorgeous garden perennials, moist, well-drained soil should be present, as well as good exposure to full sunlight when possible. Due to being drought tolerant, regular watering is only required when the plants settle in. You should give it a liquid feed during their growing season and remove longer stems to avoid any flowering.

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.

Top Tip
Deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering and maintain a clean look. Cineraria varieties with silvery foliage also pair beautifully with vibrant flowering plants, offering contrast and structure to seasonal displays in both beds and pots.
How to Water
Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during warm or dry spells. Water at the base of the plant to avoid soaking the leaves, which can help prevent fungal problems. In containers, check moisture regularly and avoid letting the compost completely dry out.
How to Plant
Plant Cineraria in well-drained, fertile soil in a sunny or lightly shaded position. These compact bedding plants are ideal for borders, containers, or mass planting, with silvery foliage or vivid blooms depending on the variety. Space plants 20–25cm apart for a uniform, airy display.
