Primrose Oenothera Lindheimeri Rosyjane Gaura 9Cm Pot Perennial Plant from B&Q

Primrose

Resist the temptation to cut back after the plant has flowered, as it takes on beautiful autumn tints, particularly in cold weather. Cut back and divide large colonies in spring. Please be aware that purplish-brown spotting can appear on Gauras at certain times of the year and/or certain times in the plant's life cycle. This is not a disease but a physiological response to cold temperatures, and occurs when new growth has encountered unseasonably chilly conditions. It will not affect the plant's vigour or flowering potential and will often improve in warmer weather. Please note: This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring. Pots and Packaging Our 9cm pots are given extra packaging to protect the plant. This extra packaging consists of a recyclable plastic blister pack which is then placed in a cardboard box for delivery. Preparation The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage. Plant on Arrival Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above. Position: Full sun Rate of Growth: Average Soil: Moderately fertile, moist, well-drained soil Hardiness: Borderline hardy (will need protection in winter in colder areas) A real breakthrough in flower colour, this selection has white flowers with a pink picotee edge. It is a bushy, clump-forming perennial, which produces its flowers for a long period from late spring to early autumn. This plant will grow to around 75cm tall so is suited to the middle or back of any sunny border. A stunner from Hardy's Cottage Plants, it was launched at The Chelsea Flower Show in 2008.
