Velvet Trough Pot Collection

Description

I adored this water trough, bang outside our door last summer and autumn, swathed in velvet with spires of the grass and bells of the phygelius to prevent the texture from becoming over-rich. This did well with us in light shade.

Care Tips

Water and deadhead as often as you can and start a weekly feed after about a month. The plants will need protection from early frosts, so keep somewhere frost-free in the spring.
