Elevate Your Garden with Patio Colour

03 Dec, 2024

Transform your patio this summer with vibrant colour. With the right plants and styling tips, you can create a colourful and relaxing outdoor space.

For a curated look, consider combining pots and planters, and incorporating height with hanging baskets. Think about your patio's style, and choose pots and flowers in a colour palette that complements this vibe. We love using a mix of pots with different flower combinations for a dynamic display.


When selecting plants, check the sunlight requirements and make sure your choices have similar preferences. Kings Container Mix is an optimum choice for patio planting as it contains water crystals that help with water retention ion the soil. If you are using a mix without water crystals, we recommend adding a handful of SaturAid when planting in summer, as this helps channel water directly to the roots.


Arrange your plants to ensure you're happy with the placement before planting. After planting, gently firm the soil and water deeply with Aquaticus Organic Garden Booster. Through the summer months, water every few days and feed with Aquaticus Organic Garden Booster every second week. To encourage prolonged flowering, prune and deadhead regularly.
