Annual Plants: What to Do When They Arrive
Transform your garden into a vibrant oasis with minimal effort using our Blooming Blocks pre-planted flower collections. Here's how to care for your annual plants to ensure a season full of color and life:
On Arrival
- Open your box and remove the plants immediately.
- Keep plants in their tray and water deeply.
- Set in a shady, sheltered outdoor location to let them acclimate over a few days.
- Gently remove the plants from the tray.
Placement
Location: Choose a spot that matches the light requirements of your Blooming Blocks. Whether it's a sun-drenched patio or a partially shaded garden path, positioning is key.
Soil: Ensure the area around your pre-planted collections is filled with rich, well-draining soil to encourage healthy growth.
Care Instructions
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. During hotter days, you may need to water more frequently to maintain moisture levels.
Fertilizing: Feed your plants with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to support continuous growth and blooming. Follow the instructions on the fertilizer package for the best results.
Deadheading: While our collections are designed for easy care, removing spent flowers can encourage new blooms and extend the blooming period.
Enjoying Your Garden
Relaxation: With the planting done, take time to enjoy the beauty and tranquility of your garden. Whether it's through quiet mornings with a cup of coffee or evenings admiring the sunset, let your garden be a source of daily joy.
Wildlife: Watch as your garden attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies, adding another layer of life and beauty to your outdoor space.
