If you’ve ever come back to parched pots or limp, lifeless baskets after a hot weekend away, you’re not alone. We've all been there! Fear not, this is a real game-changer for what goes under the compost, not just into it.
Introducing Blooming Fast Swell Gel & Feed, a breakthrough formula that’s nothing short of magic for containers, tubs and hanging baskets. This clever little blend holds water like a sponge, then slowly releases it where your plants need it most: right at the roots. And as if that wasn’t clever enough, it also contains a tried-and-tested slow-release fertiliser that keeps plants thriving for a full 6 months.
This is the exact kind of water-retention and feeding tech used in the commercial growing world, and now it’s yours, in a ready-to-use, easy-to-measure form. Just mix a few scoops into your compost at planting time, and it quietly gets to work, saving you time, water and effort all season long.
Healthier plants, more flowers, less watering. Imagine not having to dash out with the watering can every evening, yet still enjoying baskets that are overflowing with colour. That’s the kind of garden success we all want, and this product helps make it happen.
For best results, mix in at planting out and filling your baskets, containers, growbags and pots indoors and outdoors. Supplied as a 250g pouch, which treats about 12 or so standard hanging baskets or similar sized pots for one season.

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.
Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.
We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.
Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.
Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.
Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
