{"product_id":"col-add-woo-bar-aut-hotx1","title":"Conifer, Pansy, Cyclamen \u0026 Ivy (Seasonal Barrel, Hot Colours) – Autumn Winter Patio Display (Pre-Planted Wooden Barrel)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis pre-planted wooden barrel is a ready-made autumn and winter container display, planted in rich hot colours of yellow, orange, red and gold. It suits a patio, doorway, driveway or garden entrance, and it arrives already planted in its rustic barrel, so it is ready to put on show straight away.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe planting combines a conifer, yellow and orange pansies, red cyclamen and gold ivy (Hedera helix), finished with a decorative moss topping. The warm colours and mix of textures give a cohesive, seasonal look, and the natural wooden barrel suits cottage, farmhouse and contemporary settings alike. The plants are chosen and arranged by experienced horticulturalists. As this is a living product, the exact plants and varieties may vary slightly with seasonal availability, while the hot colour theme stays the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStand the barrel in a bright, sheltered spot in light shade, out of cold wind and hot sun. Keep the compost moist but not waterlogged, checking often in dry or windy weather, and deadhead spent pansy and cyclamen flowers to encourage more blooms. A balanced liquid feed every two weeks will help keep the colour going.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe display is only as hardy as its least hardy plant. The cyclamen will take a light frost in a sheltered spot, but a hard or prolonged frost can kill it, so move the barrel to shelter or cover it overnight when a heavy frost is forecast. Cyclamen tubers and ivy are harmful if eaten, and ivy sap can irritate the skin. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCultural Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Seasonal wooden barrel, hot colours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mixed display including Cyclamen persicum, Viola x wittrockiana and Hedera helix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTypical Plants Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Conifer, pansy, cyclamen, ivy, decorative moss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Patios, doorways, driveways and garden entrances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower Colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yellow, orange and red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright, sheltered spot in partial shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not hardy as a whole.
