Product Details

Celebrate all summer long with the festive, colorful display of our Fountain Grass Fireworks Container Garden. An easy-care Grass lives up to its name, creating an explosion of burgundy-and-hot-pink graceful foliage and slinky, foxtail-like inflorescences. A Calibrachoa and a Lantana bloom with abandon until a hard frost and will attract butterflies. The intricately variegated and ruffled Coleus foliage repeats its companions' hues. Two each of the Calibrachoa and Lantana and 1 of the other varieties. 6 plants total. Container not included.

  • Pennisetum setaceum 'Fireworks' (PP 18,504)
  • Calibrachoa Cha-Cha™ Yellow
  • Lantana Landmark™ Rose Sunrise (PP 19,151)
  • Coleus 'Pineapple Beauty'

Some plants require more space in container gardens than others. To accommodate the 6 plants in this container garden, we recommend a container at least 14″ in diameter and 12″ deep.

Shipping

Shipping
Every state has agricultural regulations that restrict the shipment of certain plants. We're sorry, but we cannot ship this item to the following states: Arizona, California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington.

HOW PLANTS ARE SHIPPED

The size of the plants we ship has been selected to reduce the shock of transplanting. For some, this means a large, bareroot crown. Others cannot travel bareroot or transplant best if grown in containers. We ship these perennials and annuals in 1 pint pots, except as noted. We must point out that many perennials will not bloom the first year after planting, but will the following year, amply rewarding your patience. We ship bulbs as dormant, bare bulbs, sometimes with some wood shavings or moss. Shrubs, Roses, vines, and other woody plants may be shipped bareroot or in pots. The size of the pot is noted in the quick facts for each item.

WHEN WE SHIP

We ship our bulbs and plants at the right time for planting in your area, except as noted, with orders dispatched on a first-come, first-served basis by climate zone. We also ship a wide range of containers and planters, tools, supplies, fertilizers, garden wear, garden decor items, as well as indoor decorations like wreaths and dried bouquets when available. Estimated dates for shipping are indicated in the green Shipping Details box for each item. Please supply a street address for delivery. Kindly contact us with two weeks notice, if you'll be away at the expected time of delivery.

OUR GUARANTEE

We guarantee to ship plants that are in prime condition for growing. If your order is damaged or fails to meet your expectations, we will cheerfully replace or refund it. Please contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-503-9624 or email us at [email protected]. Please include your order number or customer number when contacting us.

Beautiful Collection of Plants

This was my first time buying this grouping of plants to use on my front porch that faces West. This grouping did not disappoint. The plants are small when they arrive but I think that's what kept them so alive and thriving throughout the entire season. The Lantana is superb and the grass was beautiful. Be careful because the coleus is very easy to snap off while planting. This was a beautiful arrangement and I hated cutting it back for winter. I will definitely buy this grouping again. The hummingbirds and butterflies loved it.

Color all summer

Thoroughly enjoyed the colorful display all summer. The coleus did not fair as well as the lantana, but did well enough and provided a contrast. Would purchase again.

beautiful fountain of flowers

I needed to cover a large slab of concrete in my foundation plantings. I live in rural community with closest greenhouse 20 miles away. It was so easy to select from the many offerings of White Flower Farm a grouping that would suit my taste and add a "pop" to this corner of my home. Although the fountain grass is there and growing, the coleus overtook the planting. Perhaps I should have been pinching back the coleus. All in all I will order a grouping again! Thanks

Fabulous collection

I bought this collection because the one I'd had for the last two years was sold out. So glad I found this one, because it is my new favorite. The lantanas in particular are spectacular, and White Flower Farm's lantanas far outshine any I've found at local growers. This collection can go weeks on my deck with only natural rain water and not even droop a little. It is a wonderful, beautiful, hardy collection that I will buy again next year.

Fireworks collection

This collection arrives as very small plants. My neighbors plant similar collections from nursery plants which are more mature and larger. In early summer my neighbors' collections look spent. Mine, however, look healthy and robust. I have used this collection a couple of different times and have been happy with results each time. I do not like the standard "spike" plants that are so popular. The fountain grass as an element of interest.

My fountain grass this year is slow to get going.

Choosing a pot and growing mix: In addition to our Annual Collections, most of the plants we offer can be grown, either singly or in combination, in containers. Any container with a drainage hole in the bottom will suit. The growing medium in containers must drain much more quickly than garden soil. Many gardeners purchase special potting mixes, which we offer and are available at most garden supply stores. These mixes are specially designed for container gardening and help ensure growing success. If you happen to have your own compost pile (or other composting system), it’s always helpful to add rich compost to any potting mix. If you don’t currently have a compost pile, consider creating one so you have ready access to compost for all your planting needs.

Planting: Begin by adding potting mix to the container until the container is about ¾ full. (If you use a dry, peat-moss-based mix, you must first moisten it by placing it in a plastic tub or a wheelbarrow and slowly adding water until the mix is moist but not soggy.) Next, set the plants on the mix one by one, spacing them much more closely than you would when planting them in the ground. Put the tallest plants in the center of the container. Surround them with the shorter, mounding plants, and put trailing plants along the edge. When you are pleased with your arrangement, add potting mix to bring the level to within an inch or so of the container's rim and firm lightly. Finally, water thoroughly.

Container care: Plants in containers need special care. They dry out more quickly than plants in the ground and smaller pot sizes may dry out faster due to less soil volume. In the heat of summer, we recommend thorough watering and protection from too much afternoon sun. You may have to water plants daily, or even twice daily. Because of the need for frequent watering, nutrients soon wash out the bottom of the pot. To keep annuals growing and flowering, we suggest you water with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer mixed as directed, every other week in summer. (Other plants—bulbs, perennials, and shrubs—need less fertilizer; a half-strength solution applied once a month through August is enough.) Our Vermont Compost Plus is a mix of 10 ingredients, organic and mineral, that will revitalize last year's potting soil and slowly release nutrients throughout the season. All-Bloom Fertilizer is a 15-30-15 product that can be diluted in water and applied regularly during the growing season. Finally, to look their best, all plants in containers need regular grooming. Remove spent flowers regularly and pinch back any vigorous growers that become too large for their container.

Preparing for winter: In climates where winter temperatures drop well below freezing, containers should generally be dismantled in fall. Bring tender plants indoors or toss them on the compost heap; plant hardy bulbs, perennials, and shrubs in the ground. Most containers should be emptied of potting mix and stored under cover; only plastic and fiberglass pots can be left out over winter without cracking. In mild-winter climates—say, Zone 8 (10°F) and warmer—hardy plants can generally be left outdoors in containers with little risk either to the plants or to the pots.
