How long will my annual flower baskets bloom?

A 10” basket or container will usually bloom steadily until the end of July, if fertilized and watered regularly. The larger the size of the basket the longer the plant will bloom as it has more room to grow.

If your plants stop flowering, get leggy or sparse you can trim it back to the rim of the basket. Place the basket in part sun/ part shade areas to give it careful watering and fertilizing as it needs. This will help it grow back into fullness.

Another option is to transplant your basket or container into a larger pot. This will give the plant more room for root space thus better branching and flower. A trim will also be helpful to clean up any leggy branches in this situation.
