Making a summer planter is very easy, you can buy fully grown plants in flower and make an instant planter. Why not try growing your own, its easier than you think.
We can help you, allow some time for growing.
- Seeds you can sow your own they will take about 6 weeks to reach plug size then another 6 weeks to be ready for planting.
- Plug plants need to time to grow, so you need to pot them in April and they will take 6 weeks to grow.
- Bedding plant packs are a good option for planters, they are only part grown and often need 2-3 weeks to grow big enough to fill a planter
- 9cm patio plants often in full flower they are ready to plant almost immediately.
- 11cm plants are fully grown they are sold in full flower and often have special colours or new varieties.
- 13cm or bigger some plants need a larger pot and take longer to grow, geraniums, dahlias, begonias or fuchsias for instance.
