How you will receive your plants:
These plants are in a 9cm growing pot and are much more mature than a plug plant, they are already well established and very well rooted. Ideal for growing just a small number of plants per variety.
Can’t plant straight away?
If you cant plant out straight away, remove the pots from their packaging and give them a good water. Place somewhere cool and shaded in the garden, ensuring the compost remains moist at all times.
Planting tips and hints:
Planting in the ground: Dig a hole approximately twice as deep and 3 times as wide as the plant, if your soil is heavy mix in general-purpose compost, horticultural sand and stone or potting grit to ensure good drainage. Gently compact the soil around the plant and water thoroughly.
