Insights
Really easy to grow and maintain, planting in a hanging basket reduces the risk of slugs and snails feasting on the plants! Grown in peat free compost in a biodegradable pot made from waste coir and natural latex. Remove plant from pot or cut/tear away some of the coir if the plant is well rooted and hard to remove.
