Description How to Grow More Info Delivery

This beautiful Amberboa bears large, creamy, cushion-like flowers with a distinctive almond fragrance. Amberboa moschata 'The Bride' closely resembles a cornflower, with slender upright growth which lends itself well to cottage garden borders and wildlife gardens. Attractive to bees, grow Sweet Sultan in groups in pots, beds and borders where they'll reward you with a fabulous display throughout the summer. They're also great for cutting and placing into a vase. Height: 60cm (24"). Spread: 30cm (12"). Supplied as plug plants.

Pot up Amberboa plants using free-draining compost, and grow them on in frost free conditions until large enough to plant outside. Once they are well grown, acclimatise Sweet Sultan plants to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days before planting outdoors on any well drained, neutral or alkaline soil in full sun.

Feed and water regularly until Amberboa plants are fully established. Support Sweet Sultan plants with twiggy sticks as they grow. Deadhead faded Amberboa flowers throughout summer to prolong blooming.

Van Meuwen strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.
