Know before you buy
Simply dig a hole in your container or garden bed that matches the size of the block, place the entire unit inside, and backfill with soil. The block is designed to protect the root system during the transition, so you do not need to break it apart before planting.
The quartet is versatile and performs well in both full sun and part shade conditions. If you live in an area with extremely hot afternoon sun, partial shade will help keep the foliage vibrant and prevent the soil from drying out too quickly.
These varieties are selected for continuous blooming from spring through fall, meaning they require minimal maintenance. While you can remove spent blooms to keep the display looking tidy, the plants are bred to produce new flowers consistently on their own.
Yes, the quartet is excellent for hanging baskets. Their fast-growing nature allows them to fill out containers quickly, creating a lush, cascading effect that works beautifully at eye level.
These plants prefer consistently moist, well-drained soil. Check the moisture level daily during the peak of summer, especially if they are in containers, as pots tend to dry out faster than garden beds.
