Product Details

Our Apricot Allegro Container Garden produces a spirited display of blooms that combines shades of apricot and peach with purple and burgundy. Slender, bronzy blades of an Ornamental Sedge combine with the finely textured stems of a Euphorbia to fill in any gaps between their neighbors. 7 plants total, one each of the varieties listed below. Container not included.

  • Dahlia 'XXL Tabasco'
  • Calibrachoa Cabaret® Orange Improved
  • Carex testacea (Ornamental Sedge)
  • Euphorbia hypericifolia Breathless® White (PP 21,439)
  • Gomphrena 'Ping Pong Purple'
  • Lantana Landmark™ Rose Sunrise (PP 19,151)
  • Petunia Shock Wave® Denim

Some plants require more space in container gardens than others. To accommodate the 7 plants in this container garden, we recommend a container at least 15″ 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: California, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Washington, Arizona, Montana.

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.

Disappointed in Shipping Process

A viewer from New Hampshire

I ordered these last year and I was really looking forward to them. Because they were coming at planting time, I didn’t feel that I needed to get plants from a local garden center. We live in Zone 5, apparently we come at the end of the shipping cycle and get the last plants if they are available, even though we reserved them early in the year. This is not the first time. We received a partial shipment and I was told the arrangement was no longer available. I had to choose from what was left for replacement. The local nursery was also slim pickings because we were so late in purchasing our annuals. We were very disappointed. I know White Flower Farm tried to help, but if we reserve them early, why don’t they set aside the plants we need so we can get what we requested?

So-so

Kate from East Hampton, NY

The main disappointment I have is that we placed the order in the Fall of 2019 and it arrived on May 29th, 2020. The plants weren't in nearly as good condition as those sold at our local nursery either. I'm not sure why we didn't just buy them from there...maybe because White Flower Farm has been reliable in the past. Also, we didn't receive the dahlia that we were supposed to receive as part of the collection.

Yes And No

A viewer from North MS

Ordered this because I like and needed the Salmon & Coral colors. All of the healthy plants I received were great but the 2 Salmon or Coral colors- well the dahlia tuber didn’t make it and the cabaret coral kiss arrived dead and didn’t receive a Landmark Rose Sunshine, but did receive the correct number of plants. So I placed another order for the Lantana and Cabaret and some blooming fertilizer hoping to get my arrangement up to par or similar to picture. Couldn’t reorder the dahlia because out of stock.
Response from White Flower FarmWhite Flower Farm, 5 years ago (06/01/19 01:41PM)

All annuals are guaranteed to arrive in good condition and are further guaranteed until the fall. As it is not clear from your comments whether you contacted Customer Service Teresa regarding the condition of the plants in question, I will be contacting your via email regarding compensation.
Sincerely,
Cathy

This is a must have if you love dahlias.

Jill H from Woodstock, NY

This is the 4th year I have bought this arrangement. It is lovely, healthy, and good for cut flowers. Really a beauty.

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.
