Maintenance Tips - Light Guidelines

Most sunny annuals require at least 6 hours of DIRECT (not reflective or filtered) sunlight a day to bloom consistently and beautifully. Morning light is cooler than afternoon light. Plants getting morning, as opposed to afternoon, sunlight might require less watering.

If, after a week of caring for your planter, you notice that it has fewer blooms and/or it is stringy and leggy it needs more sunlight. See troubleshooting for more information.
