Insights

Details
Flowers: April - June
Planting
- Moist, well-drained soil
- South, West or East aspect
- Full sun
- Sheltered
Care
- Pop the discarded coir pot in the green bin, leave out for birds to use for nesting, use as mulch or add to compost heap
- Water regularly, especially in hot weather, but do not over water (it hates having wet feet)
- Prune lightly in spring to prevent it from becoming leggy but don’t cut into dead wood
- Move pots to warm, sheltered spot over winter
- For culinary use- strip leaves from stems and chop finely (the soft new growth in summer has the best flavour)
- Coir pots are supplied by one specific village producer in Sri Lanka. They have built a school, old people's home and extension to the local medical centre over the years from the proceeds of coir pot production
