Description

For hanging baskets that stop people in their tracks, this is the mix! The Summer Scorcher Mix pairs two proven performers that love to show off - Surfinia Petunia Giant Purple for deep, velvety colour, and Bidens Gold Star for bright, zingy, starry-yellow sparkle. Together they create instant contrast and serious impact.

This is not a shy, polite display. This is bold colour that spills over the edges and keeps coming. From late spring right through to autumn, these plants pump out flowers relentlessly, turning a simple pot into a full, cascading waterfall of purple and gold. Surfinia is bred for vigorous trailing growth and masses of blooms, while Bidens threads through with bright star flowers that keep the whole display looking lively and fresh.

This mix brings a real confidence boost for beginners. Baskets look full, vibrant and professionally planted, without complicated gardening. It also gives brilliant value because every plug plant works hard, filling space fast and flowering generously.

Top Tips
While this is an easy-to-maintain variety, it will still benefit from the occasional 'going over' to remove any spent flower heard that are persisting.
Care Information
  • Unpack plugs immediately, and stand them in water for an hour. If you can’t do this, they can sit in Mini Greenhouses for a week if upright and not too wet.
  • Plugs may be slightly dry or yellow after being in a dark box in the post but they’ll quickly recover. Put them somewhere warm, light and airy such as a windowsill or greenhouse.
  • When potting on, handle plugs carefully. Pot on using our 9cm pots in Shuttle Trays, using good multi-purpose compost.
  • Give your plants a good water initially, then only when the top compost starts to dry. They don’t like to be left in standing water.
  • Plant approx. 20cm (8”) apart to allow them room to grow.
  • Feed using a high-potash feed such as Blooming Fast Superior Soluble Fertiliser for Flowers & Fruits, to encourage flowering.
  • Dead-head when flowers fade to encourage more flowers.
Delivery Information

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.
