Product Information

Full details

The Thompson & Morgan Winter Bedding Collection is ideal for gardeners looking to maintain vibrant, seasonal color in their outdoor spaces from autumn through spring. This set of 60 plug plants offers a curated mix of pansies, violas, primroses, and bellis, providing reliable, cold-hardy performance in borders and containers. While these plants are exceptionally resilient against wind and frost, they require prompt potting or planting upon arrival to ensure successful establishment during the cooler months.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

When should I plant these plugs outdoors?

Once the plants have been potted on and have developed a strong root system, they can be planted into their final containers or borders once the risk of severe, ground-freezing frost has stabilized.

Are all the flowers in this collection edible?

No, only specific varieties included in the collection have edible petals. Always verify the specific variety before consuming.

Do I need to feed these plants during winter?

During the coldest months, growth is slow, so heavy feeding is not necessary. A light, balanced liquid feed in early spring can help boost the February blooming period.

How do I protect them from heavy winter rain?

Ensure all pots are raised off the ground using 'pot feet' to allow excess water to drain freely, and position containers in areas with natural shelter.

Can I grow these in full shade?

While these plants are resilient, they perform best in sunny or partially shaded spots. Deep, constant shade may result in fewer blooms.

Troubleshooting

Plants arriving wilted or dry

Immediately place the plug tray in a shallow tray of water for 15-20 minutes to rehydrate the root ball and move to a sheltered, bright spot.

Growth appears stunted in containers

Ensure the pots are not overcrowded and are receiving enough natural light; check for adequate drainage to avoid root rot.

Flowers are not blooming as expected

Remove spent blooms (deadheading) to redirect the plant's energy toward new growth and subsequent flowering.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Upon receiving your 60 plug plants, remove them from the packaging immediately to allow airflow. If you cannot plant them right away, place the plugs in a well-lit area and keep the compost moist. For initial setup, we recommend potting the plugs into 9cm pots with good-quality multi-purpose compost to allow the root system to strengthen before moving them to their permanent outdoor location. Ensure your containers have adequate drainage holes to prevent waterlogging, which can be detrimental during wet winter months. Once established, these plants are low maintenance, requiring only occasional deadheading to encourage further blooms and moderate watering when the soil surface feels dry.
