Top Tip
Deadhead faded flowers and lightly trim back leggy stems to encourage fresh growth and fuller displays. Feed every two weeks with a liquid fertiliser to maintain rich colour and abundant blooms throughout the summer.
How to Water
Water regularly to keep compost consistently moist, especially in warm or windy conditions. Mixed baskets can dry out quickly, so check daily. Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogging and support healthy flowering all season long.
