ExoticsVery popular with the modern gardener seeking something out of the ordinary. These exotics grow well in pots making them ideal patio plants. Some are hardy but benefit from a little protection with fleece etc. Others will need to be brought in to a cool conservatory, unheated greenhouse or light and airy garage or shed for the winter If you want to see a photo of the actual plants being shipped we can send a picture message to your mobile phone, or send a photo as an email attachment. Just let us know via the email link in 'Contact Us' or give us a call Planting and Care All these plants can be grown in pots. Ensure there is good drainage & we recommend using a mix of John Innes Comost mixed with an equal amount of good quality multi-purpose compost. Make sure you feed container grown plants regularly during the growing season. They also need frequent watering in spring & summer but in the winter they will survive better if kept fairly dry If you want to plant them in the garden choose a sunny, sheltered spot with well drained soil. Check that the plant is suitable for growing outdoors all year round & be prepared to wrap with fleece etc before the first frosts. These types of plants are best planted in late spring or early summer to allow them to become established before the cold weather. Dig a hole twice as wide & twice as deep as the root ball. If the soil is poor mix the extracted soil with equal amounts of compost & horticultural grit. Tease out some of the roots from the root ball & place in the hole so that it is planted exactly the same depth as it was in the pot. Backfill the hole with the soil/compost mix & firm in with your heel to leave the plant vertical. Water well after planting. They will need regular watering to stop them drying out for the first few months but do do allow the soil to become waterlogged or their roots may rot Refunds Policy on items in this section
