Description

The Bee Licious Blend is very flowery from late spring to the end of summer without requiring much maintenance. It is cheerfully colourful and will be appreciated by flower enthusiasts as well as pollinating insects. A single container holds three very easy-to-care-for plants, resistant to heat and drought-tolerant. Already composed and ready to plant, this trio allows you to dress up the terrace or the garden for an immediate and lasting, tasteful effect.

 

The Bee Licious Blend consists of:

- 1 x Mini Bee Bidens: a variety with a compact, semi-trailing habit and a particularly long flowering period, from April-May until October. Its flowers have bicoloured petals, orange with a yellow base. A generous but tender perennial, grown as an annual. The plant can reach a height of 30 cm (12in) and a spread of 40 cm (16in).

- 1 x Salvia x jamensis 'Ignition Fuchsia': a small shrubby sage (55 cm (22in) in all directions) that blooms all summer. Its deep pinkish-red flower buds open to vibrant fuchsia flowers. One of the most moisture-tolerant varieties in its category. This bushy perennial can be planted in the ground in warmer regions.

- 1 x Lobelia Lobelix White: a heat and sun-resistant variety that offers uniform and sustained flowering throughout the season. Its small flowers are pure white. This annual plant forms a dense cushion measuring 20-25 cm (8-10in) in all directions.

 

Grown in the same pot, these plants coexist well, each finding its place without suffocating the others. They should be repotted in a larger container, to highlight them on the balcony or terrace. This composition requires little maintenance, apart from regular watering. Regular application of flowering plant fertilizer will be appreciated.

Planting and care

Plant your Bee Licious Blend in spring, in a large container to allow the plants to fully reach their potential. Use rich and light soil and water regularly. Apply flowering plant fertilizer in the spring. Choose a sunny exposure. The shrubby sage can withstand winter, in warmer regions and well-drained soil. The bidens and lobelia are annuals.
