In recent years Busy Lizzies have come along leaps and bounds, as the issue of downy mildew is now a thing of the past!

So versatile, you can enjoy in patio pots, containers or baskets, or alternatively in garden beds and borders where the bicolour shades of ‘Beacon’ will fill up space perfectly in summer. Height: 45cm (18″), Spread: 35cm (14″).
Growing Information
Plug plants can be planted directly into flower pouches. For baskets, beds and window boxes, pot up plugs and miniplugs for transplanting at a later date. Grow them on in bright, frost-free conditions, watering sparingly until plugs are fully rooted in. When all risk of frost has passed, acclimatise busy lizzie plants to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days, prior to planting in their final positions.
