Lycianthes (Paraguay Nightshade) in Pot 14cm
ID: #1196393
Description
💧 Watering The Paraguay Nightshade prefers consistent, average moisture. Water thoroughly whenever the top few centimeters of soil feel dry. While it can handle brief dry spells once established, letting it dry out completely will cause it to drop its flowers and leaves. During Malta’s peak summer heat, container-grown plants will be quite thirsty and may require daily watering to keep their intense blooming cycle going. ☀️ Light It thrives best in full sun (at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily). The more sunshine it receives, the denser its foliage will grow and the more intensely purple its flowers will be. It handles the blistering Maltese summer sun beautifully, though providing a location sheltered from harsh, drying winds will keep its arching branches looking pristine. 🍃 Foliage / Growth Features soft, wavy, oval dark green leaves that remain on the plant year-round in Malta’s mild climate. It is a highly vigorous grower that naturally takes on a relaxed, arching shape. Pro Tip for your customers: It tolerates hard pruning exceptionally well. Advise them to give it a light trim after a heavy flush of blooms to maintain a tight, compact, and bushier shape. 🪴 Potting Mix Requires a fertile, loamy, and well-draining potting mix. It isn’t overly picky about soil pH, making it highly compatible with standard mixes available locally. However, excellent drainage is critical to prevent root rot during the heavy winter rain downpours. 🌿 Fertilizer Because it is a fast grower and a heavy bloomer, it is a hungry plant. Feed it every 4–6 weeks during the spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer, or use a high-potassium bloom booster to maximize the flower count. ❌🐕🐈 Pet Safety The Paraguay Nightshade is highly toxic to dogs, cats, and humans if ingested. As a member of the Solanaceae family, all parts of the plant (especially the round red berries that follow the flowers) contain toxic alkaloids. Ensure customers know to plant this out of reach of curious pets and children, and recommend wearing gloves when doing heavy pruning. 🌬️ Air Purifying While primarily used outdoors to enhance curb appeal, its dense, fast-growing habit provides excellent structural screening. Furthermore, its continuous supply of lightly scented flowers serves as a fantastic haven for local pollinators, drawing in bees and butterflies all summer long. *Pictures shown may vary from actual product due to the live nature of the items.

Romantic Pink Peonies (Paeonia) – Pack of 2
€8.49
Bring timeless romance to your garden with our Classic Pink Peonies . Known as the “Queen of Flowers,” peonies are famous for their massive, fluffy, cloud-like blooms and intoxicating fragrance. These hardy perennials are a true investment. They can live for 50 years or more, becoming more spectacular and producing more flowers with each passing season. Key Features for Malta: Breathtaking Blooms: Produces extra-large, fully double flowers in soft, romantic shades of pink.

Excellent Cut Flower: One of the most popular flowers for luxury floral arrangements and bridal bouquets. Perennial Investment: Unlike annuals, these roots return year after year, growing into a lush, leafy shrub. Expert Tips for Growing Peonies in Malta: Peonies can be a little “diva-like” in hot climates, so follow these steps for success: Morning Sun Only: In Malta’s intense heat, peonies perform best in a spot with bright morning sun and afternoon shade . This prevents the delicate petals from scorching. Don’t Plant Too Deep: This is the most common mistake! Plant the “eyes” (the pink buds on the roots) only 2-3 cm below the soil surface . If planted too deep, they will grow leaves but no flowers. Well-Draining Soil: They hate soggy roots. Use a high-quality compost mixed with some grit to ensure drainage is perfect. Chilling Period: Peonies like a cold winter. If we have a very mild winter in Malta, some gardeners place a few ice cubes on the soil surface above the roots in January to “trick” the plant into dormancy. Patience Pays Off: Peonies can take a year or two to settle in before they bloom heavily, but they are well worth the wait! Color: Soft to Mid-Pink. Bloom Time: Late Spring to Early Summer (May – July). Height: 60 – 90 cm. Fragrance: Highly fragrant. Other Names: Pink Peony Pioenroos Garden Peony Paeonia Lactiflora
