NEW PLUG trays and a GREAT OFFER!
We’re offering our bedding plants in our NEW and more manageable plug tray sizes this year, which enables you to order ANY 4 PACKS (of the same size) and SAVE £12! Our new Mini, Standard, and Large plug trays are stronger and sturdier and plants are easier to extract from their cells, making pricking out and potting on much easier - enjoy choosing and selecting your favourite varieties.
Mini plugs Sold in units of 50
Developed in conjunction with our nursery, we've re-designed our mini plug tray to offer you even better value! Each plant will be well-rooted in its own cell of compost, and plants will be grown to order and shipped at just the right time, allowing you to grow on before planting out later on. Approximate height 4-6cm from plug base to plant tip.
Standard Plugs Sold in units of 30
Larger than Mini Plugs, our well-rooted Standard Plugs offer a more advanced stage of growth. Easy to grow, your plants will arrive ready for immediate transplanting into trays and pots, and allowed to grow on for a short time before planting into their final positions. Approximate height 6-8cm from plug base to plant tip.
Large Plugs Sold in units of 20
Larger than Standard plugs, our Large Plug Plants are well-established plugs and will be sent to you direct from our nursery at a more advanced stage of growth, they, will require less growing on time before planting out. Approximate height 8-12cm from plug base to plant tip.
Young Plants Sold in 3s, 4s, 5s or 6s as individually grown plants!
Plants are grown in individual, large plugs and will arrive ready for immediate potting on into pots, or if space allows, planted directly into baskets and containers. Approximate height 6-12cm from plug base to plant tip.
Bare Root Plants (not illustrated)
These are grown in nursery beds on open ground. This ensures that the young plants will have had the benefit of unrestricted root growth and so will have a more vigorous root system when you receive them than pot grown plants of the same age. They will, therefore, tend to grow away and become established much more quickly once replanted. Bare root plants are despatched when they are dormant. However, the roots will be strong and healthy and the plants will soon start into growth again once they are planted out, watered and the warmer weather arrives.
Potted Plants Sold in 1s, 2s, 3s, 4s and 6s(not illustrated)
Plants are grown in 7cm or 9cm pots and will arrive ready for planting into their final planting positions.
Bulbs and Tubers (not illustrated)
Top quality sized bulbs and tubers for months of summer colour.
