Cheerful, colourful blossoms that lift the mood and brighten your outdoor spaces all winter long.
Polyanthus are a beloved garden favourite, renowned for their ability to add rich colour and life to the garden during the cooler months. The Blue variety produces striking deep-blue, velvety blooms with contrasting yellow centres, beautifully set against lush green foliage. Compact and free-flowering, these hardy plants bring a soothing yet vivid display to pots, borders, and window boxes, creating a calm, elegant touch of winter brightness.
Grown peat-free at our Yorkshire nursery and supplied in 10.5cm pots, these plants are strong, well-rooted, and ready to plant immediately for instant seasonal impact. Often in bud or bloom on arrival, they thrive in full sun or partial shade and prefer moist, well-drained soil. Easy to care for and long-lasting, Polyanthus Blue also provide a valuable nectar source for early pollinators such as bees and butterflies, ensuring both beauty and biodiversity in your garden.
