The Delft Planter comes complete with a handsome blue and white planter and two seasons of growing material.  It is a classic wherever used.  There are two seeded mats included so you will have two seasons of beauty.  As always, a little extra care will insure you have maximum results from your Instant Flower Garden® product.

Varieties - White Candytuft (Beris amara) and Californai Bluebell (Phacelia campanularia).

General Installation and Watering - Fill the container with potting soil to within 1" of the top.  Place one of the seeded mats over the soil and water liberally.  If necessary, cut the mat with ordinary scissors to fit the surface.  See Garden Basics for detailed information about Soil Preparation for Containers, How to Store Unused Mats for Next Season, and other helpful tips.

Where to Plant - Full sun.

What I Can Expect - The Instant Flower Garden® Delft Planter plants will germinate in 1 to 2 weeks depending upon conditions and soil temperature.  Patience is necessary in this phase.  Cool evenings and overcast days can delay germination.  Then, after the second set of leaves unfold, some thinning may be necessary to avoid crowding and allow for stronger mature plants.  Expect the Delft Planter flowers to grow to a height of 8 to 20 inches and continue its display throughtout the season.
