Wayside Gardens Blooming Block Kwik Kombos Chloe's Mix

A Blooming Block is a pre-planted, nutrient-dense root system that arrives ready to go. To plant it, simply dig a hole in your container or garden bed that is large enough to accommodate the block, place the block inside, and backfill with soil, ensuring the top of the block is level with the soil surface.

While this mix is specifically curated for the visual impact of containers and hanging baskets, it can absolutely be planted directly into garden beds. Just ensure the soil is well-draining and the location receives full sun to maintain the plant's health and bloom density.

This mix requires full sun, which means at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight per day. If placed in partial shade, you will likely see fewer blooms and the plants may become leggy rather than compact.

The block comes nutrient-rich to get your plants established, but because petunias, verbena, and calibrachoa are heavy feeders, you should supplement with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every two weeks throughout the growing season to keep the display vibrant.

No, this mix is composed of annuals. They are designed to provide a high-impact, continuous show of color throughout one spring and summer season, but they will not survive the winter to return the following year.

Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. In hot summer weather, containers may dry out quickly, so check the soil daily by sticking your finger an inch into the dirt; if it feels dry, it is time to water.
