where to order plug plants etc.
I don't normally buy plug plants but two people whose gardens I maintain
have asked me to get their bedding/tubs/hanging basket plants this year. There's so many places to choose from i have no idea where to start! I know one lady would like scented petunias but other than that I am probably looking for best deals/best bargains. Can anyone recommend sources please? I could go to the Davies brothers nurseries over near Burnham when they open in the spring but it's very tempting to buy over the Internet or by post as I can do that anytime., Janet -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |

Nothing resembling the "perfect plug plant" pictures in the catalogues. Shipped too early and don't survive very well in the postal system. -- Alan news2009 {at} admac {dot} myzen {dot} co {dot} uk |

Enough for about 8 pots and tubs per garden. varieties aren't the problem, they just want stuff for hanging baskets etc., so I'm thinking petunias, maybe geraniums, lobelia, stuff I wouldn't like to bring on in my greenhouse as it seems more economic to buy plugs, Fuchsias i can do from cuttings but as i don't really like tubs and baskets i don't tend to grow a lot of bedding stuff. I was trying to dissuade them from pansies as it's a boring job deadheading the things and then they get mildew anyway if they are in the sun a lot. Hope this makes things clearer. As I said i don't normally do stuff like this for myself so I am going to have to hunt up quantities per tub/basket etc. Janet -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |

I buy their bulbs, but that's all. -- Spider from high ground in SE London, gardening on clay. |

Not David but - they're grown under glass and Jersey's had some cold weather lately, so I'd be surprised if there's much difference! And there's these people as well who offer different sizes of plugs: http://www.gardeningdirect.co.uk/PLA...efault,pg.html -- Sacha I was going to mention Gardening Direct but Sacha has got there before me :-) Good people to deal with and very good plants :-) kate |
