Add drama to your hanging baskets with this gorgeous selection of Lofos plugs.
The lovely trumpet-shaped flowers contrast brilliantly with the lush green foliage and look incredibly tropical. Lofos is a very fast grower, with the foliage tending to establish first and then, once the warm summer days arrive in June, the pretty flowers will commence, continuing thereafter right until first frost in the autumn. A very special and unusual summer flowering plant and if you have never grown it before, its one that is not to be missed!
In this collection you will receive:
- 4x Lofos ‘Wine Red’ plugs – Beautiful dark pink – almost red blooms with heart shaped foliage.
- 4x Lofos ‘Compact Pink’ plugs –Â Bright pink trumpet-shaped flowers with trailing foliage.
- 4x Lofos ‘Compact White’ plugs – Long impressive vines with creamy-white blooms.
Flowering from June all the way through to September, these trailing blooms are sure to create a dazzling display!
Supplied as 12x plugs, ready plant.

Care Information
- Initially your Lofos plants should be potted into 7.5-9cm (3-3?in) pots using a good quality compost. If planting directly into a basket, allow 3-4 plants for a 12-14in basket, or 6 for a really dense effect.
- Grow on in a greenhouse, conservatory or indoors at a minimum temperature of 15?C (60F), moving outside during late May or early June and only when the risk of frost has passed.
- In the early stages keep the plants on the dry side and provide good ventilation as the young plants can be susceptible to the fungal disease.
- Pinch out the growing tip to produce a bushy habit when the plants have reached a height of about 10cm (4in).
- To keep your plants growing vigorously keep the plants well-watered and apply a balanced liquid feed at 10 day intervals.
- Mature plants can be over-wintered in a greenhouse at a minimum temperature of 5?C (41F).
