Plant description

Carefully curated to deliver on style and performance, and grown to order on the Crocus nursery, our mini-border plant collections create beautiful displays that come back year after year. The collections comprise six, 9cm plants.

Each collection is suited to fill a 1m sq space in the border, and has been designed to enable you to either place them on their own, intersperse them with other plants, or weave them in multiples to create a cohesive, considered look to your planting scheme.

Alternatively, pop them into our Tall antique zinc dolly pot and create a showstopping seasonal display for the patio.

Where possible, plant in odd numbers, and cluster them together to give impact. Multiples of 3 work really well set out in irregular triangles for an organic feel, while larger numbers can be planted in mercurial clusters or drifts. In bigger gardens, try to repeat your clusters through the border to create a sense of rhythm and cohesion.

Also, when setting your plants out, check their eventual spread and make sure they’ve enough space to fill out. After planting, keep plants well watered for their first year, particularly during warmer weather, and feed them with a good, general purpose fertiliser through the growing season.

When potting up, use a good quality general-purpose compost, and make sure the plants are kept well watered, particularly during warmer weather.
