The vibrancy of this elaborate quintet is second to none. A trio of sunny yellows is artistically crowned by rich, violet-blue salvia and lively bicolour petunia for contrasting and co-ordinating interest. Summery Sensations Collection contains a mixture of tender and half-hardy perennials which will bloom all summer and well into autumn for enduring and exciting impact. Plants have been collated to adhere to the ‘thriller, spiller, filler’ principles of planting containers and baskets and offer a comprehensive and aesthetically pleasing ensemble.All plants in the collection prefer moist, well-drained soil and are happy in either full sun or partial shade. Should you choose to, some plants – particularly begonias – can be overwintered away from frost and will return again to flower next year.Collection comprises:Osteospermum ‘3D Double Yellow’ H&S: 45cm; Salvia farina ‘Violet’ H&S: 40cm; Begonia ‘Illumination Lemon’ H: 40cm S: 50cm; Petunia ‘Blueberry Star’ H: 25cm S: 40cm; and Calibrachoa ‘Can Can Double Dark Yellow’ H&S: 30cm
