The Classic 2 Urn Planter Set produces a blazing array of blooms that will make a stunning statement on your deck or patio. The combination of colors includes reds, pinks, and yellows with flecks of white. The set comes with a pair of pedestal urns and two seasons of growing material. As always, a little extra care will insure you have maximum results from your Instant Flower GardenĀ® product.
Varieties - Alyssum (Lobularia maritima), Impatiens (Impatiens walleriana), Sun Coleus (Coleus blumei), and Snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus).
General Installation and Watering - Fill the containers with potting soil to within 1" of the top. Place one of the seeded mats over the soil in each container and water liberally being careful not to over saturate. 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 - The Classic 2 Urn Planter Set has a solid bottom, so you can use the container on a table top or near a seating area without concern for water drip-through. It is important, however, that you avoid overwatering and provide just enough water for the soil to feel moist to the touch but not soggy.
Where to Plant - Full to partial sun.
What I Can Expect - The Instant Flower GardenĀ® Classic 2 Urn Planter Set plants will germinate in 1 to 3 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 Classic 2 Urn Planter Set flowers to grow to a height of 6 to 35 inches and continue their display throughtout the season.
