Busy
Lizzie ‘Divine’ (New Guinea) – Part of the Alan Titchmarsh Collection
Downy mildew-free busy Lizzie. Ideal for beds, borders and pots, Fantastic
rainbow colour mixture. Those with ‘new guinea’
genes are downy mildew proof! So the great news is you won’t have to give
up on the UK’s favourite bedding plant. And they’re more robust
than traditional busy Lizzies, with good outward branching and flowering without
pause from June to November. Height and spread: 30cm (12″).
Easy to grow on. Pot up plants and grow them on in bright, frost-free conditions. While the plants are still small, pinch the growing tips out where the stems have more than 2 sets of leaves to produce a well branched, compact plant. When all risk of frost has passed, acclimatise Busy Lizzie plants to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days, prior to planting in their final positions.
Trouble free plants for a really fantastic garden full of colour this summer. Doesn’t mind if the weather isn’t perfect either.
Available to buy as plug plants – in different amounts according to how many you want in your garden this summer.
