Can’t plant straight away?

Place in a sheltered frost-free environment and water regularly to keep the compost moist

Once the frosts are over, harden the plants off for at least a week before planting out by placing them outdoors during the day and bringing them back indoors at night.

Planting tips and hints:

Dig a hole approximately twice as deep and 3 times as wide as the plant’s rootball. If your soil is heavy mix in a soil improver before backfilling. Place the plant in the hole so that it sits at the same level in the ground as it did in the pot. Firm the soil around the plant and water thoroughly. When planting in a container, use a good quality multipurpose compost.
