No, pots and soil are sold separately from Bloom Kits. As some may already own outdoor planters, pots, and baskets, we wanted to encourage them to re-use what they already have.

No. We’ve expertly selected annual combinations of annuals that are unique, hardy, and meant to grow well together. Bloom Kits are available in three different sizes with plant combinations for full sun and shade areas, so there are colorful options for everyone!

Each Bloom Kit includes your choice of 4, 8, or 16 young annual plants (varieties vary by kit and size), detailed planting and care instructions, an initial application of slow-release fertilizer, and an easy-to-follow planting guide.

The plants in your Bloom Kit are considered “young plants.” They come in soil plugs that are about 2 inches in diameter and the foliage ranges from approximately 4-8 inches in height. Young plants are also better suited for shipping to ensure they arrive to you in optimal condition. Being part of the process is half the fun of plant parenthood, so we chose to start you off with young plants and let you be involved in the growing process!

Use the following guidelines to determine how much sun your outdoor plants should get. Remember that a building, tree, or roof can create a shaded area even if other surrounding areas get full sun.
Once you know what kind of light you have, use our sunlight filters to display the specific Bloom Kits recommended for your garden’s sunlight levels.

Here are our recommendations for outdoor sunlight:

1. Shade (Full Shade): Six hours of full shade or three hours of morning sun before noon
2. and 3. Sun (Full Sun): Six hours of direct sunlight

There are many different styles, sizes, and types of pots available, so it can definitely be confusing to know what size Bloom Kit you should get for your planters.

Here is a helpful guide:
Accent Kits include a single variety with your choice of 4, 8, or 16 plants. Combination Kits include three varieties with your choice of 4, 8, or 16 plants.

Bloom Kit 4-Pack
– Two 8-10 inch diameter pots or planters OR one 10-11 inch diameter hanging basket (depending on variety)

Sure! The plants in the Bloom Kits will grow happily in the ground as well as in pots. Follow the same basic planting and care instructions, but just make sure the flower bed is prepped (fresh soil, the soil is raked, slow-release fertilizer mixed in) before planting. So, if you have a spot in a flower bed that you’d like to fill with the plants from a Bloom Kit, go right ahead!

You can plant your Bloom Kit as soon as you receive it. If you need to wait a few days before planting, be sure to open the box immediately upon arrival. Carefully remove the plants from their sleeves and be sure to keep the plant sticks with the right plants so you know which plant is which! Set the plugs in a dish of water and keep them moist until you are ready to plant.

The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map is the standard by which gardeners and growers can determine which plants are most likely to thrive in a particular location. The map is based on the annual average minimum winter temperature in an area. We use this information, along with our generations of expertise, to determine when it will be safe for you to plant.

The Bloom Kits are actively growing when they are shipped and more growth will be evident as soon as they are planted into their final homes! You will most likely see new growth of leaves and possibly flower buds within 7-10 days. This will depend on the temperature and light levels at your home.

Most of our outdoor Bloom Kits are not pet-friendly, however, there are some that are non-toxic to pets, including Petunias, Impatiens, Mezoo, and Sweet Potato Vine. Please keep this in mind when purchasing to protect your pet’s health.

Ecopots are made from up to 80% recycled plastic—mostly harvested from the ocean—and stone dust which gives it a soft, matte finish. They are extremely durable, stylish, and highlight the natural beauty of the plants.

Simply put, this pot is the best option that meets our high standards for durability, the health of the plant, safety for your floor or surface, and aesthetics. We’ve spent a long time doing lots of research testing pots to come to this conclusion.
