Planting out
In containers, plant far enough apart to create a full looking displays from the start. Make sure to use a good quality multi-purpose or container compost, and water in thoroughly. To help them establish extra quickly, water them in with a dilute plant food. In beds and borders, depending on final size of the plants used, plant around 15-30cm (6-12in) apart. They will grow best in well-drained soil that doesn’t dry out. Dig the planting hole and sprinkle some compost in the bottom. Place the plant in the planting hole, adding a bit more compost if needed. Gently firm in with your fingers or the end of a trowel or hand fork and water in thoroughly, using a dilute plant food if possible.

Growing on
Water thoroughly whenever necessary to prevent the compost or soil drying out. Plants in containers will need watering more regularly than those growing in beds and borders; drought tolerant plants, such as geraniums (pelargoniums), osteospermums and gazanias, need watering less frequently. Feed plants regularly with a high potash, liquid plant food, as recommended on the container. This really helps produce stronger, healthier plants with lots more flowers. Remove yellowing and dead leaves and deadhead wherever possible to remove fading and finished flowers plus any developing seed heads, seed pods or fruit. This keeps plants tidy, healthy and helps to encourage lots more flowers.
