Product description
Polyanthus 'Pacific Giants F1' is a robust and hardy variety that produces large, eye-catching blooms in a range of vibrant colours, including red, yellow, and blue. These plants are prized for their ability to bring a burst of colour to your garden in early spring, brightening up beds, borders, and containers when many other plants are still dormant. The blooms are not only visually striking but also long-lasting, making them an excellent choice for gardeners looking to create an extended display of colour in their outdoor spaces.
To grow Polyanthus 'Pacific Giants F1', sow seeds indoors from May to July in seed trays or pots. Once the seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots and grow them on in a cool, bright place. When the young plants are well established, they can be transplanted outdoors in autumn or early spring. Choose a sunny or partially shaded location with well-drained soil, and space the plants approximately 15cm apart. This spacing will allow the plants to develop fully and create a dense, colourful display.
Polyanthus 'Pacific Giants F1' will begin flowering in March, with blooms continuing through to May. These flowers are perfect for cutting, allowing you to bring a touch of spring indoors. To encourage healthy growth and a vibrant display, ensure the soil is kept moist but not waterlogged, particularly during dry spells. Polyanthus is relatively low maintenance, making it an excellent choice for gardeners of all experience levels. Regular deadheading will help to prolong the flowering period and keep the plants looking their best throughout the season.
