Planting & Care Guide

• Planting Time: Best planted in spring after the risk of frost has passed.
• Soil Requirements: Prefers moist but well-drained soil; tolerates most soil types with neutral to slightly acidic pH.
• Light Needs: Grows well in partial shade but will also flourish in full sun if kept well-watered.
• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist during the growing season; do not allow roots to dry out completely.
• Feeding: Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser every two weeks during flowering for best results.
• Pruning: Deadhead spent blooms regularly to encourage continuous flowering. Prune back hard in early spring to promote bushy growth.
• Hardiness: Suitable for UK gardens; protect from severe frost or overwinter indoors if grown in containers.

Design Ideas & Companion Plants

• Create dramatic hanging baskets by pairing with trailing lobelia or bacopa.
• Add to mixed containers with upright geraniums or begonias for contrast.
• Use along border edges where their cascading habit softens hard lines and adds movement.
