Summer-flowering Bedding Plants Need:
THESE CONTAINERS vary widely in shape and size and the types of plant that suit them. Large Tubs are ideal for shrubs as well as summer-flowering bedding plants and spring-flowering bulbs. Urns are smaller and hold less compost. They are usually more decorative in character and so are perhaps best devoted to summer-flowering plants and displays of bulbs in spring.SUMMER-FLOWERING bedding plants need feeding regularly from early to late summi at about three-week intervals. Spring-flowering displays formed of bulbs and biennials like wallflowers and daisies do n need to be fed, but do use fresh and fertili compost. Only feed winter-flowering displays in late spring and mid-summer.
WELL-DRAINED yet moisture-retentive compost is essential for all plants in containers. The planting medium must also be fertile for summer-flowering bedding plants, which need to develop rapidly and sustain growth throughout the summer. Spring bulbs, planted in late summer or the fall, do not need high fertility.
