A gardener potting a hydrangea in plastic pots. – Vintage Photograph

Description

On this day in 1968, a gardener was seen potting a hydrangea in plastic pots. These pots are lighter and less breakable than clay pots, making them more desirable for gardeners. Plastic pots also come at a cheaper price than clay pots, ranging from 14s. 10d. per 100 for 2 ins. diameter to 50s. 6d. per dozen for 10ins. Various annual flowers, including asters, nemesias, and salpiglossis can be sown now in pots or boxes under glass with heat. For summer displays of antirrhinums, it is best to buy a boxful later in the year and sow them with gentle heat in February for best results.On this day in 1968, a gardener was seen potting a hydrangea in plastic pots.
