These wonderful, compact plants have rosettes of beautifully textured leaves and are smothered in flowers between October to March and will look fabulous wherever you plant them. They’re great in pots, containers, beds, or baskets, in partial shade or sun – they really are easy to grow and bring the spring garden to life with their cheerful colours.
Perfectly hardy in the garden, they’re great when combined with other perennials and underneath trees and shrubs where they’ll flower for months, gradually forming large clumps that can be divided every few years to give you more plants.
Care Information
- It is best to acclimatise your polyanthus plants to outside conditions over 7 to 10 days, before planting out in their final positions.
- Choose a position in full sun or semi shade on any fertile, moist, well-drained soil.
- Keep well-watered (but not waterlogged) until established – during the winter, avoid over-watering and don’t allow water to sit in the crown as this may cause the plants to rot in cold conditions.
- Deadhead spent blooms to encourage more flowers.
- Established or overcrowded clumps of polyanthus can be divided in late autumn and early spring.
