Plug Plants
If I plant perennial "plug plants" in spring, can I expect them to flower
this year? Same question for those "crowns" that come in sealed plastic bags at the DIY store, can I exect a good show from them this year? I've bought crowns of Rudbeckia and Saponaria; I want to order plugs of campanula, achillea, lavender and aster. But I'm not a patient gardener and I'm wondering if I should buy larger plants instead. There again, I'm not a rich gardener either!! Thanks. |

I regularly buy plugs, rhizomes, etc. Start them off in pots now in a protected spot. I actually keep them in an unheated "plant" house (just because we have a lot of outbuildings living in an old farmhouse). When the time is right for planting you'll have decent sized plants to put into the ground. The company I regularly buy perennial plugs from send them out between February and April. I pot them up and give them a chance to get bigger before planting out. HTH Iris McCanna |
