The Bunny Planter is an adorable addition to the Instant Flower Garden® novelty collection of planters. It comes with two seasons of growing material that produce a briliant display of impatiens. As always, a little extra care will insure you have maximum results from your Instant Flower Garden® product.
Varieties - Two colors of Impatiens Baby Series(Impatiens walleriana).
General Installation and Watering - Fill the container with potting soil to within 1/2" of the top. Place one of the seeded mats over the soil and water liberally. Save the other mat for use next year. See Garden Basics for detailed information about Soil Preparation for Containers, How to Store Unused Mats for Next Season, and other helpful tips.
Special Considerations - Group the Bunny Planter with a collection of other Instant Flower Garden® critters such as the My Garden Frog Planter, Tortoise Planter, My Ladybug Planter, and the precocious Piggy Planter.
Where to Plant - Dappled sun to partial shade.
What I Can Expect - The Instant Flower Garden® Bunny 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 Bunny Planter flowers to grow to a height of 2 to 6 inches and continue their display throughtout the season.
