Chenille Plants

Look, we're huge fans of pink fluffy plants around here. This little floof likes to spend time in the shade and prefers moist toes. Makes a great houseplant, too. It's like a plant that's also a pet! So cuddly.

Chenille plants thrive indoors, outdoors, in flower beds, in containers, cascade beautifully out of hanging baskets, and enjoy afternoon shade. The perfect friend.

Includes three young plants, grown in 2.5" diameter pots.

Growing Info
How to Plant Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball. Fill a little bit of the loose dirt back into the hole and tuck your plant in so the base of the stem is even with the top of the hole. Now fill in the rest of the soil around the roots, give the soft ground around the base of your new plant friend a few solid pats to compress the soil onto the roots, and a long, gentle drink of water.
Where to Plant Find a place that gets mostly sun, with good soil
When to Plant Plant outside in the late spring, once the soil has warmed up. Avoid the heat of the day when planting — plant in the early morning, late afternoon, or by the light of the moon
When to Expect Blooms All summer!
Care Instructions Water regularly until they get established, and then give them extra water during dry spells. Pick blooms to encourage more.
