Pick and Mix perennial plugs!

22/3/2024

Come and fill a tray with your choice of 10 perennial plugs for just £18 - starts this weekend and runs while stocks last!

'Plugs' are the halfway point between seedlings and plants that are mature enough to go into borders.
We always have huge numbers of them on site but they are usually kept strictly to the growing side of the nursery.

For a limited time only we are making these young plants available to buy, offering huge savings against the price of larger stock!

Perennials are plants that come back year after year. Most are best in flower borders, although some are suitable for pots and planters too. The selection we are offering have a range of flowering times, from spring to autumn, and almost all are bee-friendly.
Care advice: Plugs are too small for planting directly into the garden.

We strongly recommend they are planted into small pots where they can develop their root systems before moving on into the ground.

On the nursery we use 9cm or 1 litre size pots for this. Don't make the mistake of using too large a pot - plants find it harder to access the nutrients in the soil and will not grow as well. We have suitably sized pots available to take away for free from Shophouse.

Use a good quality multipurpose compost; we always mix in slow-release fertiliser too, to help the plants grow.

Keep an eye on watering – don’t let them dry out and watch they don’t get waterlogged.

Although all the perennials in the offer are frost hardy it is advisable to shelter them from hard weather conditions while they are young.

All being well your potted-on plugs should be rooted in their new pots and ready to go into the garden by late spring!
