The compost or soil you choose to grow your flowers in will have a big impact on how well they grow.
Choosing the right compost for growing flowers is easy with our help:
Flowers in pots, containers or hanging baskets
Gro-Sure Easy Containers Compost is a really easy to use compost which makes it simple to get great results with pots, containers and hanging baskets. It contains clay granules which soak up water to release over time when the plant needs it the most. It also contains 6 months feed and our patented West+ formulation for stronger roots and bigger plants.
Alternatively you could use:
- Gro-Sure Container & Basket Compost
- Westland Multi-Purpose Compost with added John Innes
- John Innes No3 Mature Plant Compost
Flowers in Borders
Perennials grown in beds and borders need a boost yearly and the best way to do this is to improve your soil by mulching. You could use Westland Soil Conditioner or Gro-Sure Farmyard Manure on top of the soil, near to established plants and allow the worms and soil organisms to work it into the soil.
If you’re creating a new bed from an area that had been previously used for something else it’s important to add some organic matter before planting. Spread Westland Soil Conditioner or Gro-Sure Farmyard Manure over the surface of the dug area and work it into the soil with a fork. The high organic content also encourages the activity of beneficial soil dwelling organisms including worms.
