GROWING AND CARE TIPS FOR YOUR GARDEN TROPICS

Quick Care Guide

Garden Tropics centre plants offer texture, height and visual interest to your containers and gardens. They provide beautiful centrepieces for your planters and can be planted in your garden beds to create height at the back of a garden or in the centre of a circle garden for example.

Light - Part sun to full sun.

Colours - Available in various shades, including pink, ruby and green foliage.

Water - Water when top 2.5cm (1") of the soil is dry to the touch.

Size - These plants grow to varying heights.

Fertilizer - For best results use a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2 weeks.

Tips - Treat as annuals in cooler climates - they will not survive a frost but can be overwintered indoors. Pruning helps maintain a nice shape and size and this will also encourage a fuller plant.

Outdoor Care
These tropical centres flourish best in warm places with part to full sun. The plants will be enjoyable in container gardens or freely planted in beds in the garden.

Indoor Care for Overwintering
They love the sun, so let the plant get a few hours of sunlight everyday. When you water your Garden Tropics let the topsoil dry out between waterings and prevent the soil from getting soggy. Fertilize in early Spring before moving your plants outdoors.

Mix them with our Rio Dipladenias or Hawaiian Punch Hibiscus or Capri Petunias for stunning colour and then add some Awesome Accents for texture and trailing effects in your container gardens. Create endless unique combinations of colour and texture!
