Ok thanks, Verdun. The roots and shoots were quite big on this, so I tried putting them in something smaller but wouldn't fit without the white shoots coming out of the top.
I bought pound shop lupins about three years ago and they have done very well. I noticed yesterday that they are coming up again this year and the bees love them
Verdun, you show off anyway! I was great with latin names for indoor plants in my old job, but can never remember all the outdoor ones, even my favourites. Think the brain cells going
If you dig a little hole close by, sink a coffee jar lid or something a bit deeper, into the hole, cover with a piece of slate or large stone, leave a small gap in the side, nothing else can get to the slug pellets, you can then empty and replenish next day, having caught the little buggers.

Thanks everyone for all your advice, they are now planted out in a big pot!

Hi jack 3
good luck with your lupins, please remember if you resort to ( slug pellets ) use them sparingly.
If you have the thrush, blackbird, frog, toad, or hedgehog in yr garden, they are all at risk from this terrible product.
Hi there patty3 I will not be using slug pellets. So no worries.
