Practical
Arranging, positioning & care
Practical tips to help you get the most out of your choice.
Arranging tips
- In a tub, use the ‘thriller, filler, spiller’ layout for a full, balanced result.
- Use the same style of pot throughout the patio or balcony for a calm overall look.
- Play with colour combinations: a single colour theme often looks calmer than a vibrant mix.
Position & placement
- Most summer-flowering annuals like a sunny spot.
- Mediterranean patio plants need a sunny, sheltered spot out of the wind.
- On a balcony, bear in mind that tall patio plants can be sensitive to wind.
Care tips
- Water patio plants and annuals daily in summer, as they are planted closely together.
- Feed weekly with a flowering plant food for rich, long-lasting blooms.
- Remove faded flowers regularly; it encourages new blooms.
- Move frost-sensitive patio plants to a frost-free place in good time before winter.
