Daisy and ivy pot display

Step 1

Place a layer of crocks in the bottom of the pot to improve drainage.

Step 2

Fill the pot two-thirds full with multi-purpose compost and mix in some water-retaining gel.

Step 3

Break up the strips of bellis to form individual plants. Don't worry about tearing the roots - the plants will be fine.

Step 4

Position the bellis plants where you want them, then plant them in the container.

Step 5

Split the ivy into smaller plants. Poke them into the gaps between the bellis and fill in the gaps with compost.

Step 6

Water the display throughly and keep it well watered to prevent the soil from drying out.

Look out for multi-buy deals when buying colourful spring bedding like these daisies – they’re often great value for money meaning you can create several pots without breaking the bank.
