🌸 Flower Power Beauty in Orange & White
A joyful burst of blooms with a little garden magic 🌸
A beautiful and productive Potted Companion that combines vibrant flowers, fragrant alyssum and fresh parsley. Designed to bring colour, texture and everyday joy to your garden while creating a welcoming space for pollinators and beneficial insects.
Perfect for patios, balconies, courtyards and garden corners, this easy-care combination looks gorgeous while adding something useful to your edible garden.
What’s included:
Snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus) is a vibrant, cool-season cottage-garden flowers that add height and colour.
Italian Parsley (Petroselinum crispum var. neapolitanum) has fresh, flavoursome leaves ready to pick for cooking, garnishing and salads.
Sweet Alyssum (Lobularia maritima) is a delicate, honey-scented flowers that attract pollinators and beneficial insects.
Planted in a medium, black, self-watering pot (25 × 23cm)
Why it works:
Snapdragon, parsley and sweet alyssum make a beautiful combination because they each bring something different to the pot. Snapdragons provide height and vibrant colour, parsley adds fresh edible foliage, while sweet alyssum gently spills over the edges with its delicate flowers and sweet fragrance.
Sweet alyssum is particularly valuable in an edible garden because its tiny flowers provide nectar for beneficial insects such as hoverflies and parasitoid wasps. Some of these insects, including hoverfly larvae, are natural predators of garden pests such as aphids.
And because your Potted Companion is portable, you can move your sweet alyssum around the garden — creating a little ‘pest patrol’ wherever your plants need some extra beneficial-insect support. 🌸🐞
Grow tips & Position:
Best grown in a sunny position. On very warm days, part shade can help protect the plants from heat and scorching.
This pot likes consistently moist but well-drained soil. Fill the self-watering reservoir when the water level is low, allowing the pot to provide a steady supply of moisture.
In cooler or wetter weather, allow the reservoir to empty before refilling to avoid keeping the soil overly wet.
Harvest parsley regularly by picking the outer stems first to encourage fresh growth.
Deadhead spent snapdragon and alyssum flowers to encourage continued flowering and keep the pot looking its best.
Move your pot around the garden to position the alyssum near edible plants where you'd like to encourage beneficial insects.
Benefits & Uses:
Combines beauty, fragrance and fresh edible herbs in one easy-care pot.
Sweet alyssum provides nectar for beneficial insects, helping create a more biodiverse and wildlife-friendly garden.
Use fresh parsley in salads, sauces, pasta, soups and as a garnish.
Snapdragon and alyssum add colour, texture and a cottage-garden feel to small spaces.
The portable pot can be moved around your garden to provide a mobile beneficial-insect habitat wherever it's needed.
A beautiful way to bring more nature, colour and productivity into balconies, courtyards and small gardens.
