Default Growing on plug plants


"Tiger303" wrote in message
...

have a good few spaces in the front & back borders where i could fit in
some foxgloves and i saw thompson & morgan selling 84 plug plants
delivered in march for about a tenner. obviously a lot cheaper than
buying pot plants, but i wondered whether u could grow them on without
a greenhouse?

it says they'll flower this year, but it also has them in the perennial
section, when i'm sure they're biennial, and i only want to spend the
money if i can get them to flower this year.

my plan was to pot them on and grow them in house next to an east
facing windowsill until say mid-april when hopefully they'll be big
enough to grow on outside

if anyone with any experience of this could comment on whether i've a
good chance of being succesful could comment it'd be appreciated

Had a quick look at T&M site . I think you are talking about excelsior
hybrids
54 for about a tenner.
These are perennial and I would think that you could grow them on quite
easily.
