convolvulus tri-colour mix
« on: May 18, 2012, 18:49 »
Hi there, months ago I sowed some hanging basket favourites from seed.  One of the seeds was convolvulus, there are no instruction what to do once past seedling stage so I dont know how far apart the plants should be, there is no specific variety, just that they grow upto 60cm high. 

I got some stocks from another packet too that are doing well too, what distance do these need?

If anyone knows please let me know?!

Thanks
Amanda

Convolvulus is a trailing plant, so put it at the edge of your containers.  I would cram the containers as full as you can and either add slow release feed or make sure you feed every week.  They will need lots of water as well so water retaining gel will help. Normal spacing doesn't really apply to basket plants if you want a really good display  :)

Which stocks have you bought?  There are dwarf and full size but they will stand a bit of overcrowding.  Minimum hand width apart but could be up to 30cm if they are the really tall ones  :)
