Salvia farinacea ‘So Blue’ is a semi-perennial dwarf plant that is covered in spikes of intense clear blue flowers. ‘So Blue’ is a sterile hybrid selected because it flowers all through the year with peaks in summer and autumn in most temperate areas. It does best in the warmer months of the year in southern gardens but fl ourishes year long in the subtropics. Plant in full sun through to lightly dappled shade position for best results.

Perfectly suitable to gardens which grow Geraniums and Chrysanthemums and for patio potted colour as they are clean plants holding the flower heads well for a long time.

This is an easy care plant once established needing little supplementary watering except in dry times. Most soils are suitable, well worked up and with compost incorporated. Trim for shape and size as needed for better fl owering.

This variety fl owers earlier than other verbenas varieties. The Verbena ‘Cadet’ series forms upright, uniform masses of fl owers from early spring.

This variety has strong disease resistance to powdery mildew. Will fl ower from spring right through to autumn, withstanding the high heat of summer.

Plant in nutrient rich and well draining soil. For pot plant displays, plant in Searles Platinum Potting Mix and Searles Premium Garden Soil Mix for the garden.

Liquid feed fortnightly for continuous fl owering and plant health for 9 months of the year.

Available in 8 vivacious colour choices

– White, Violet Blue, Red, Purple, Pink, Magenta Wink, Lavender Blue, Hot Pink Wink

Bidens ‘Mini Bee’ - compact, no pruning variety.

In warmer areas Bidens (Bidens ferulifolia) fl ower right through the year, fl owering larger and longer than other varieties available.

‘Goldilocks Rocks’ Improved bears bright yellow fl owers on soft, fern like foliage. This improved variety will produce larger fl owers and has the ability to fl ower into warmer weather, versus the original.

Bidens ‘Campfi re’ and ‘Mini Bee’ light up the garden with their fl ame bi-coloured yellow and orange fl owers. Ideal for front garden displays, mass plantings, fi ller and spillers and potted and hanging displays. ‘Mini Bee’ is the dwarf and more compact variety of the two, ideal for garden colour without the pruning.

Bidens grow best in full sun in nutrient-rich, free draining soil. Their bright golden splashes of colour contrast against other smaller shrubs and fl ower borders. They are easy to grow in pots for patio colour and garden pot combinations. For potted colour, plant in Searles Platinum Potting Mix. Prune back lightly if any branches become too leggy.

This plant makes a statement in frost free gardens. Keep soil moist with good drainage. Liquid feed every two weeks with Searles Flourish Flowers & Foliage Soluble Plant Food to keep the plant fl owering.
