Description How to Grow More Info Delivery Reviews

Upright bushy, early flowering biennials producing gloriously scented flowers in a good colour range. Brompton Stocks make a wonderful, fragrant addition to borders and containers and are splendid for cutting too. Height: 45cm (18"). Spread: 25cm (10").

Garden Ready Plants - If you’ve fallen behind with your planting or if greenhouse space is limited, we can help you catch up with our garden-ready plug plants. These sturdy plants are larger than other plugs so they can be planted straight out in the garden provided that there are no forecasts of frost. Perfect for filling containers, baskets and borders without the need for growing on.

Culinary information: Flowers are usually added raw to salads or as a garnish to desserts, they can also be candied. Their flavour is perfumed. For more details about edible flowers click here.

Pot up plug plants into 9cm pots and grow them on in warm frost free conditions, for transplanting into borders, beds and containers later on. Garden Ready plug plants can be planted straight out in the garden provided that there are no forecasts of frost.

When all risk of frost has passed, and plugs are fully rooted into their pots, acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days. Plant Stocks in any well drained soil in full sun. Feed and water regularly. Deadhead faded flowers to encourage more blooms to be produced.

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.
