General Growing Advice
Using a good quality multi-purpose compost, pot up your plugs into 10cm pots. Once your plug plants have been potted on and labelled, water them in well and grow on for around 5-6 weeks.
Keep plants frost free until mid/late May and then harden off before being placed in their final positions when the risk of frost has passed in your area.
Water as necessary giving a liquid feed such as Neudorff Organic Plant Feed as instructed throughout the growing season.
***For packs of 40 plug plants gently remove the small plugs from the tray by pushing up from the bottom using a pencil.
Brookside Nursery Advice to help you get the best from your Ageratum plants
Once ready to plant outside, Ageratums can be planted 6" (15cm) apart in a rich and moist soil that will not dry out completely as the roots of ageratums are shallow. Preparing the area and adding home-made or a proprietary brand of compost to enrich the soil is recommended. Adding a granular slow-release fertilizer at the time of planting is also worthwhile. In hot dry weather water regularly from the base of the plant and give a liquid feed every fortnight throughout the growing and flowering season.
