The tulips are more purplish than blue, but the overall effect is pleasant.

Planting and care

Plant your plug plants of biennials and bulbs in a pot or large tub in a sunny or semi-shady spot. They need light, moist soil and appreciate fertiliser. Place the bulbs about 10 cm deep, fill in with potting soil to within 1 or 2 cm of the edge of the pot, and then plant the biennial plants in small bunches, spacing them about 10 to 15 cm apart in all directions. Potted biennials should be watered after planting and can be stored over winter on a balcony or windowsill protected from cold winds.
