{"product_id":"col-add-fes-pla-ant-sla","title":"Skimmia, Euonymus, Red Cyclamen \u0026 Hellebore – Christmas Planter in Antique Slate Effect Container (Pre-Planted)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis ready planted Christmas planter brings winter colour to a doorstep or patio in an antique slate effect container. It is planted with four plants: a Skimmia reevesiana, a Euonymus, a red cyclamen and a Hellebore 'Christmas Carol'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plants are growing together in the container and arrive in it, so there is nothing to plant up. Skimmia and Euonymus give lasting leaf interest, the cyclamen adds a splash of red, and the hellebore carries on the display as winter goes on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStand it in a bright, sheltered spot in light shade, out of cold wind and hot sun. Water when the compost starts to feel dry and keep it from sitting waterlogged. The display gives one season of colour from autumn into spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cyclamen is not fully hardy. It will take a light frost in a sheltered spot, but a hard or prolonged frost will kill it, so move the planter under cover if severe weather is forecast. Do not eat any part of the plants. The RHS records cyclamen tubers as not to be eaten.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCultural Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Christmas planter with Skimmia, Euonymus, red Cyclamen and Hellebore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Skimmia reevesiana, Euonymus spp., Cyclamen persicum, Helleborus 'Christmas Carol'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mixed ready planted container\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Doorsteps, patios and winter containers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Partial shade, in a sheltered spot out of cold wind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not hardy as a whole.
