Receiving your Plugs

When you receive your plugs in the post:

Receiving standard plugs

  • Between April and September, you can plant your pink into a container, or into the border (if the risk of frost has passed). We do recommend for them to be potted on in a 9cm pot on arrival, which will reduce the stress to the plants and then plant out after 6-8 weeks. The plant will then be stronger and happier when planted into its final position or container.
  • If received between September through to March pot into a 9cm/3.5” pot and keep in an unheated, well-ventilated greenhouse until you are ready to plant out (weather permitting).
  • When you receive your box of standard plugs and they are dry when they arrive, moisten in a cup of water before potting.
  • Plant the plug in a 9cm or 11cm pot and water in.
  • Place in a greenhouse or cold frame with good ventilation. Water when needed.
  • After 6-8 weeks your young plant will have rooted out in the pot.

Receiving your Garden ready plug or 9cm potted plant

  • When you receive your garden ready plugs or 9cm pot plants these can go straight into the ground or garden container in well-drained soil or compost from April to September (weather permitting, and if the risk of frost has passed).

“I just wanted to say a very HUGE thank you for my plants, which arrived this lunchtime.  Not only is the selection amazing, including some of my all-time favourites, but each plug is extremely healthy and strong; full of fragrant promise.”
