{"product_id":"col-6pk-pol-pia-whi","title":"Polyanthus 'Piano White' (Primula x polyantha) – Hardy White Spring Bedding (12 Plants in 2 x 6-Cell Trays)","description":"\u003cp\u003ePolyanthus 'Piano White' gives pure, crisp white flowers with a vivid yellow centre, in the weeks when most of the garden is still bare.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Piano series is known for large, velvety blooms and good weather tolerance, so it keeps flowering through cold, wet spring weather. The compact, clump-forming plants carry rich green, textured, rosette-forming leaves and flower from late winter through to late spring. Early bees and butterflies visit the flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou receive 12 plants, growing in 2 plastic 6-cell trays with one plant to a cell. They are ready to plant into beds, borders, containers and window boxes, and look best planted closely together for a bold seasonal display. Choose a sheltered spot with morning sun and afternoon shade, keep the soil moist without letting it become waterlogged, and feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every two weeks while growing. Deadhead spent flowers regularly to keep new ones coming. After flowering the plants can be divided and replanted to naturalise in a border.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike all primulas, polyanthus can cause stomach upset and skin irritation if eaten or handled, so wash your hands after planting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhite flowers sit well beside spring yellows, purples and pinks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCultural Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polyanthus, Piano Polyanthus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Primula x polyantha\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully Grown Height and Spread:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 20-25cm tall and 20-30cm wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compact, clump-forming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Borders, containers, window boxes and underplanting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich green, textured, rosette-forming leaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late winter to late spring (February to May)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower Colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e White with a yellow centre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to partial shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moist, well-drained, humus-rich soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully hardy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaintenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low; deadhead spent flowers regularly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeasonal Interest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Winter and spring flowers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardy perennial, often grown as a biennial for the best seasonal display\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Verdant Living","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67655393116380,"sku":"COL-6PK-POL-PIA-WHI","price":22.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/2455\/8300\/files\/1_74efe1cd-de09-4ebd-96a9-1ddc32e3919e.png?v=1792008036","url":"https:\/\/www.verdant-living.co.uk\/products\/col-6pk-pol-pia-whi","provider":"Verdant Living","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
