{"product_id":"col-add-26cm-fes-plan","title":"Seasonal Container Collection (Festive Planter) – Winter Conifer, Pansy, Cyclamen \u0026 Ivy Display (Pre-Planted)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 26cm festive planter is a ready planted winter display, with a snowy conifer, two white pansies or violas, two red cyclamen and a gold-leaved ivy (Hedera) growing together in one container.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe red cyclamen and white pansies give bright colour from autumn into spring, while the conifer and the gold ivy keep the planter looking full and fresh through the coldest months. It is a cheerful way to dress a porch, doorstep or patio for Christmas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plants arrive already growing in the planter, so there is nothing to plant up. Stand it in a bright, sheltered spot in light shade, out of cold wind, and keep the compost just moist without letting it sit wet. Remove faded flowers to keep it blooming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe display is only as hardy as its least hardy plant. The florist's cyclamen will take a light frost in a sheltered spot, but a hard or prolonged frost will kill it. When the display is over in spring, the ivy can be planted out in the garden and the pansies kept going in the ground or a pot until early summer. Cyclamen tubers and ivy are harmful if eaten, so keep them away from people and pets who might chew them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCultural Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Festive Planter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mixed seasonal container planting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compact mixed display with trailing ivy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Porches, doorsteps and patios in autumn and winter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower Colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e White and red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light shade, sheltered from cold wind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not hardy as a whole.
