Product description
This six pack of Polyanthus Rose bedding plants has an abundance of bright and attractive colour to show off within flower beds or plant displays when they bloom from Winter, right through into early Spring. These bedding plants possess a gorgeous shade of pink in the outer section of each petal, with a light orange, flower-shaped featuring in the centre to create a nice visual effect. They are also backed up by some lovely, lush, green foliage that maintains a great contrast for the plants to flourish from. They can be planted straight from the tray upon arrival, thriving with ease when given the correct care.
When planting these gorgeous Polyanthus plants, moist, well-drained soil should be present, as well as keeping it placed in partial shade instead of full sunlight. Regular watering is recommended, making sure that the soil is not allowed to dry out at any time.

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 faded blooms to encourage more flowers and keep displays tidy. Polyanthus are excellent for early-season colour and pair well with other spring favourites like primroses and violas for a cheerful, long-lasting bedding scheme.
How to Water
Water regularly to maintain consistent soil moisture, especially during dry periods. Polyanthus dislike drying out, particularly while flowering, but avoid waterlogged conditions by ensuring proper drainage. In containers, check moisture levels frequently.
How to Plant
Plant Polyanthus bedding plants in moist, well-drained, humus-rich soil in full sun or partial shade. These compact, clump-forming plants are perfect for borders, containers, or edging displays, offering clusters of vibrant blooms atop sturdy stems. Space plants 20–25cm apart for a neat, full effect.
